Maltaise
– Hollandaise made with a reduction orange juice and zest (typically blood oranges)
– commonly served with fish and asparagus
Mikado
– Hollandaise made with a reduction of mandarin orange juice, zest
– commonly served with fish
Mousseline
– typically 1 part whipped cream is folded into 3 or 4 parts Hollandaise (or to taste) just before serving
– commonly served with cooked vegetables, fish and eggs
Moutarde
– Hollandaise flavored with mustard to taste

Noisette
– Hollandaise flavored with noisette butter at the end (to taste)
