This dish originated with the New Orleans restaurant Brennan's, which is famous for its breakfast. A typical recipe for Hollandaise sauce calls for 1/2 pound butter and an additional egg yolk, but milk and cornstarch replace most of the butter in this version. Marchands de vin (wine merchant) is a red wine-based sauce.
