AS EASY (& GOOD) AS CAN BE, SINFUL HOLLANDAISE SAUCE



As Easy (& Good) As Can Be, Sinful Hollandaise Sauce image

Making Hollandaise sauce is Not as overly complicated, as many people seem to make it. It really doesn't need to be, as you will see from this very simple recipe, people will probably look at this compared to other more complex recipes and think something must be wrong with this one to be so easy, why would the others be harder if they didn't need to be? You got me on that one, who knows? Oh wait, I think I do know. Maybe if it's this easy to make, you'll make it too often, which can't be a good thing, right? lol This is the Hollandaise sauce I use for my eggs benedict, (& my grilled cheese eggs benedict #312190) & veggies. This is a great recipe because it uses the entire egg, so you aren't left with trying to find something to do with the whites or wasting them, or separating them. Not only is it really easy, (as long as you pay attention to what you're doing), but exceptionally good. It's definitely not low-calorie or low fat, but it is oh so good. I think I originally found it in the Joy of Cooking cookbook, but I'm not sure. I like mine a little on the lemony side, but if you do not, you can decrease the lemon juice to 2t at step one, and taste it later as it cooks, then you can add it little by little towards the end, it won't hurt anything, just makes sure it's stirred in well. Of course fresh lemon juice is always better, but not necessary. It's also fun to try it with different citrus juices, try it with lime or orange for veggies or seafood for a different twist, depending on what you're making. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does. Prepare this right before you need it, so that it is still warm and creamy. The fresh grated nutmeg makes a world of difference, not only for this sauce, but many sauces!

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 -7 tablespoons butter
3 eggs (yolk & white)
3 tablespoons water
4 -5 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch of fresh grated nutmeg (or ground)

Steps:

  • Place 3 eggs, 4-5 t (or less) lemon juice, 3 T water, in a smallish bowl, & whip with a fork, until thoroughly blended & pale yellow.
  • In a nonstick pan, melt (over low heat), butter.
  • Add egg mixture SLOWLY, stirring CONTINUOUSLY until sauce has thickened, immediately remove from heat, and keep stirring for a minute or so. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Before serving, add 1/2 t salt & fresh ground nutmeg, taste and add more lemon if desired.
  • I sometimes add a little more lemon juice because I like mine very lemony, but I notice in many of the comments on other recipes, that people complain if it's too lemony, so taste as you go, as you can't take it away once you've added it. (notice the recipe says teaspoons not tablespoons).
  • And that is it!
  • It's really that simple, now go enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your hollandaise sauce will taste. This is especially important for the butter and eggs.
  • Clarify your butter. Clarifying your butter will remove the milk solids, which can make your sauce grainy. To clarify butter, melt it in a saucepan over low heat. Once the butter has melted, skim off any foam that rises to the top. Then, carefully pour the clear butter into a separate bowl, leaving the milk solids behind.
  • Use a double boiler. A double boiler is the best way to make hollandaise sauce because it allows you to control the temperature of the sauce. This is important because hollandaise sauce can easily curdle if it gets too hot.
  • Whisk constantly. Hollandaise sauce needs to be whisked constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Add the butter slowly. When you are adding the butter to the egg yolks, do it slowly and gradually. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Season to taste. Once your hollandaise sauce is finished, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Hollandaise sauce is a classic French sauce that is perfect for serving with eggs, fish, and vegetables. It is also a delicious addition to sandwiches and burgers. With a little practice, you can easily make hollandaise sauce at home. Just follow the tips above and you will be sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills!
