Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Warm water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until fully melted and hot, but not browned. Set aside and keep warm.
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Blend on high speed for 10-15 seconds until the mixture is frothy and pale.
With the blender running on a low setting, very slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture. Start with just a few drops at a time, then gradually increase the stream once emulsification begins. This process should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
If the sauce is too thick, blend in 1 tablespoon of warm water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve immediately over your favorite dish, such as eggs benedict, roasted asparagus, or grilled fish. If necessary, keep the sauce warm by placing the blender container in a bowl of warm water, stirring occasionally.
