Asparagus with Easy Hollandaise Sauce
This simple blender hollandaise recipe with fresh herbs makes a luscious topping for steamed asparagus, but is also great with artichokes, fish and, of course, eggs Benedict. For a nutty flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the blender, and/or top the asparagus with slivered almonds or chopped pecans.

Tips
When a recipe calls for raw eggs, you can minimize the risk of food-borne illness by using pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs. Look for them in the refrigerator case near other whole eggs.
