Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Warm water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, or in the microwave, until fully liquefied. Allow it to cool for 1–2 minutes, but ensure it remains warm.
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Blend on high speed for about 10 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow.
With the blender running on medium speed, slowly drizzle in the melted butter in a thin, steady stream. Continue blending until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 30 seconds.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed. If the sauce is too thick, blend in a tablespoon of warm water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve immediately over your favorite dishes, such as eggs Benedict, steamed asparagus, or grilled fish. The sauce is best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm for up to 30 minutes by placing it in a heat-safe bowl over a pot of very hot (but not boiling) water.
