Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave until fully melted. Set it aside to cool slightly. Make sure it is warm but not too hot.
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, water, and salt. Blend on low speed for 15 seconds to mix well.
With the blender running on low speed, very slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg mixture. Start with a few drops at a time and gradually increase to a thin stream. This helps emulsify the sauce and create a creamy texture.
Once all the butter is incorporated, blend for an additional 10-15 seconds until the hollandaise sauce is thick and smooth.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or a squeeze of lemon juice if needed. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle hint of spice, if desired.
Serve the hollandaise sauce warm. If you need to hold it for a short time, keep it warm in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally to maintain its consistency.
Use immediately over your favorite dishes like eggs benedict, steamed vegetables, or grilled fish.
