Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until fully liquid but not browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Add the egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, salt, and optional cayenne pepper to a blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 10 seconds to combine and slightly aerate the yolks.
With the blender running on low speed, very slowly drizzle the warm melted butter into the blender through the lid's opening. Pour in a steady, thin stream to allow proper emulsification.
Once all the butter has been added, increase the blender speed to high and blend for another 10 seconds until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or cayenne pepper if necessary.
Transfer the sauce to a bowl and serve immediately while warm. If needed, keep the Hollandaise sauce warm by placing the bowl over a pot of lukewarm water.
