Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Melt the butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquid. Keep it warm but not bubbling.
Prep the blender: In a high-speed blender, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt. Blend on low speed for about 15 seconds to combine and slightly aerate the mixture.
Incorporate the butter: While the blender is running on low speed, slowly drizzle the warm melted butter into the blender in a thin, steady stream. This process should take about 1-2 minutes. The sauce will thicken as you add the butter.
Check seasoning: Stop the blender and taste the sauce. Add more salt or lemon juice if desired. If you like a touch of heat, sprinkle in a pinch of cayenne pepper and blend for another 5 seconds.
Serve immediately: Transfer the hollandaise sauce to a serving dish or bowl and serve warm. If needed, place the bowl over a pot of warm (not hot) water to keep it warm until ready to serve.
