I love eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce, but I'm currently pregnant so raw eggs is a big NO, NO for me. There is this restaurant that serves the hollandaise sauce warm so I assume that the eggs are not raw , but I'm not sure. Therefore, I was wondering if ALL hollandaise sauce are made with raw eggs or do some chefs actually cook them. If they are cooked, in theory it is safe for me to eat, right?

The eggs are cooked in a double-boiler method while stirring them. That's what thickens the sauce.

can be made from a package of dry mix so must not always be raw eggs. And would think just because it is warm doesn't mean it is cooked. Check the powder spice mixes in the grocery store they have a hollandaise sauce package that I am sure you could eat.

The recipe calls for raw eggs. Some chefs may make it differently, but it would not be called Hollandaise Sauce.

They're still raw even though the sauce is warmed. I think that there are alternatives that really aren't close to the real thing. My advice is to totally stay away... nothing is worth jeopardizing your unborn baby's health. I know it is really, really good... but maybe try to find some other decadent food while you're pregnant. why take the risk?

it cant be made without raw eggs. you cant cook the eggs and still have a sauce. as long as the eggs are pasteurized they should be safe but you have to be sure.
