Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Warm water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until fully liquid, ensuring it doesn’t brown. Set aside and keep warm.
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Blend on high speed for about 15 seconds until the mixture is light and frothy.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle the warm melted butter into the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream. Blend until the sauce is thickened and smooth, about 20–30 seconds.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding additional salt or lemon juice if desired. If the sauce is too thick, blend in a teaspoon of warm water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve immediately over your favorite dish. If needed, keep the hollandaise warm for up to 30 minutes by placing the blender jar in a bowl of warm water, stirring occasionally. Avoid direct heat to prevent curdling.
