  5. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

  8. Add the Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and salt, then whisk until well combined. 
  9. Taste the Hollandaise sauce and adjust seasonings to taste. Place the Hollandaise sauce in a warm area to prevent separation.
