Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until fully liquid but not browned. Remove from heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, water, and salt. If desired, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 10-15 seconds until the ingredients are emulsified and slightly frothy.
With the blender running on low speed, very slowly drizzle in the melted butter through the blender's lid opening. Start with a thin stream and continue steadily until all the butter is incorporated.
Once all the butter has been added, blend for another 5-10 seconds to ensure the sauce is smooth and thickened.
Taste the Hollandaise sauce and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or cayenne pepper to your liking.
Serve immediately over your choice of dish, such as poached eggs, asparagus, or salmon. If needed, keep warm for up to 30 minutes by placing the blender container in a bowl of warm water.
