By adding a small amount of pancake batter to its eggs, IHOP accomplishes a few things: One, it adds some structure to the eggs, making them a little more sturdy and filling. Two, the extra moisture leads to a fluffier overall product. And three, it adds just the slightest amount of tasty pancake flavor to the mix.

But if you do start to wonder, you might be surprised to know there's a definitive reason why IHOP's egg dish is fluffier, airier, and more filling than most. As it turns out, that massive mountain of eggs isn't just eggs after all. The omelettes are actually made with some pancake batter in the mix.

Hollandaise sauce (/hɒlənˈdeɪz/ or /ˈhɒləndeɪz/; French: [ɔlɑ̃dɛz]), meaning Dutch sauce in French, is a mixture of egg yolk, melted butter, and lemon juice (or a white wine or vinegar reduction). It is usually seasoned with salt, and either white pepper or cayenne pepper.

IHOP uses a blender to whip air into the eggs, almost like the 1st step in making a merengue from whites. Try it with your own blender but make sure you don't overfill it. Thanks for the A2A. I'd heard the pancake batter thing as well, and it actually does make sense.

Eggs Benedict's calories can be quite high. Eggs Benedict's calories can be quite high. Due to hollandaise sauce, this popular brunch food is quite high in fat. However, there are healthy alternatives to traditional Eggs Benedict slathered in fatty hollandaise, such as this Avocado Hollandaise Eggs Benedict.

In addition, we use highly refined soybean oil in our fryers, which the FDA exempts from being labeled as an allergen.

It is marked that the Omelettes contain wheat and gluten as they are made with a splash of Buttermilk Pancake batter to create a light, fluffy Omelette. The same batter is also used in our Burritos and Bowls. The Scrambled Eggs do not contain Buttermilk Pancake batter.

Hollandaise sauce is a rich, buttery sauce freshened with the lightest touch of lemon. Despite having “Holland” in its name, it's generally agreed among chefs that Hollandaise sauce was first born in France and was originally known as Sauce Isigny, named after a small town in Normandy famous for its butter and cream.

While we generally think of mayonnaise as that gloopy, light beige-ish vinegar and mustard-accented sauce, pretty much any yolk + oil emulsion could qualify as a mayo according to the basic definition. In other words, aioli and hollandaise are specific types of mayo (but not all mayos are aioli or hollandaise).
