Steps:
- Hold both ends of a stalk of asparagus and bend it until it snaps. Then use a knife to trim the remainder of the bunch to match. Discard the trimmed stems.
- Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook, uncovered, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes depending on the thickness. Drain in a colander.
- Meanwhile, put the egg yolk, lemon juice and cayenne in a blender. Pulse a couple times to combine.
- Put the butter in a small microwave proof bowl and heat in a microwave until just melted. With the blender running, gradually add the melted butter into the egg to make a smooth frothy sauce. If the sauce is really thick blend in a teaspoon of lukewarm water to loosen it up.
- Transfer the asparagus to a plate. Pour the sauce over the top of the asparagus, sprinkle with more cayenne if desired and serve right away.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; let cool about 5 minutes. Put egg yolks in a blender. With motor running, gradually add butter. Add lemon juice and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. (Sauce should be thick but fluid enough to drizzle from a spoon, and should form a pool, not a mound. If too thick, thin with warm water.) Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Sauce is best used immediately, but can be stored in a thermos about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet. Add asparagus, in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; drain. Serve warm or room temperature, with sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a small sauce pan. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper and cayenne in the jar of a blender. Blend for 15 seconds. With the blender running, slowly pour the hot butter into the blender and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is thick. (You can leave it in the blender at room temperature for up to 1 hour. If it is made in advance, add 1 tablespoon hot tap water and blend for a few seconds before serving.)
- Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
- Pour the hollandaise sauce over the warm asparagus and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this with a knife or a pair of kitchen shears.
- Cook the asparagus properly: There are many different ways to cook asparagus, but the most popular methods are boiling, steaming, and roasting. Boiling is the quickest method, but it can also make the asparagus mushy. Steaming is a gentler method that preserves the asparagus's nutrients and flavor. Roasting is a great way to get a slightly caramelized flavor on the asparagus.
- Make sure the hollandaise sauce is smooth and creamy: The hollandaise sauce is a classic accompaniment to asparagus. To make sure it's smooth and creamy, use fresh egg yolks and butter, and whisk the sauce constantly over low heat.
- Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will ensure that it's still crisp and tender.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with hollandaise sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its fresh, springy flavor and creamy, tangy sauce, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
