Assemble and Serve
Replace the fried oysters with fried clams, seared scallops, or classic Canadian bacon.
Make it a 'Florentine' style by adding a layer of sautéed spinach between the English muffin and the oysters.
Use toasted brioche, sourdough, or a crispy potato cake instead of an English muffin for a different texture.
Add a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the Hollandaise or a pinch of chili powder to the oyster breading for extra heat.

Hollandaise is notoriously difficult to make ahead and reheat as it can easily break. It is best made fresh. The blender method is very quick, so you can make it just before you assemble the dish.
Small to medium-sized oysters are ideal for frying as they cook quickly and evenly. Look for varieties like Bluepoints, Kumamotos, or any local variety that is plump and briny.
To fix a broken (separated) Hollandaise, place a fresh egg yolk in a clean bowl. Whisk it vigorously while very slowly drizzling in the broken sauce, a teaspoon at a time. The new yolk should help re-emulsify the sauce.
