Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until fully liquid. Do not let it brown. Set aside and keep warm.
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, water, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Blend on medium speed for about 20 seconds until the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter in a steady stream. Start with a thin stream to allow the sauce to emulsify, then pour more steadily as it thickens.
Blend for an additional 15-20 seconds until the Hollandaise sauce is smooth, thick, and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lemon juice or salt, if needed.
Serve immediately over your favorite dishes. If not serving right away, keep the sauce warm by placing it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of warm water, stirring occasionally.
