Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it's fully melted and bubbling but not browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, and salt to a high-speed blender. Blend on low speed for about 10 seconds, or until the mixture becomes pale and slightly frothy.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle the hot melted butter into the egg yolk mixture. Start with a very thin stream to allow the mixture to emulsify, then gradually increase the flow once it's blended.
Once all the butter has been incorporated, the sauce should be creamy and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of cayenne pepper or more salt if desired.
Serve the Hollandaise sauce immediately over your favorite dish. If needed, keep it warm by placing the blender jar in a bowl of warm water (not hot) until ready to use.
