The combination of asparagus and Hollandaise sauce is certainly a classic one. In fact, some say asparagus isn't complete without its Hollandaise partner! The buttery, lemony flavors of the sauce just complement asparagus so beautifully.

So what did I do when I decided to get creative with this classic pairing? Well ... create an Asparagus & Hollandaise Casserole, of course!

A creamy casserole with crisp fresh asparagus bathed in lemony Hollandaise sauce, topped with buttery bread crumbs, to be exact.

But you know, Hollandaise sauce can be a tad bit ... well ... persnickety to make. With double boilers ... and whisking and whisking and whisking ... and potential turning-to-scrambled-eggs involved.

Fortunately, if you'd like {and I do like}, there's a much simpler way to whip up this classic sauce ... with Concord Foods' Hollandaise Sauce Mix!

With Concord Foods' Hollandaise Sauce Mix, making Hollandaise sauce is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Open the sauce mix packet ...

That's it! Pretty simple, right?
