Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 egg yolks
Salt and pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 sticks unsalted butter, clarified
Hot water, to thin sauce accordingly

Steps:

  • In a blender combine yolks, pepper and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  • In a small saucepan heat the clarified butter until bubbling hot.
  • Cover the blender and blend the yolk mixture on high speed for several seconds. Either remove center cap of blender lid or carefully remove lid with blender still running. Pour hot clarified butter in a thin stream into whirring egg mixture. As sauce thickens add a tablespoon of hot water at a time to help prevent the sauce from thickening too much.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, if needed (or more)
6 -8 ounces very soft unsalted butter
1 dash cayenne pepper
salt, to taste
fresh ground white pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk the yolks, water, and lemon juice in the saucepan for a few moments, until thick and pale (this prepares them for what is to come).
  • Set the pan over moderately low heat and continue to whisk at reasonable speed, reaching all over the bottom and insides of the pan, where the eggs tend to overcook.
  • To moderate the heat, frequently move the pan off the burner for a few seconds, and then back on. (If, by chance, the eggs seem to be cooking too fast, set the pan in the bowl of cold water to cool the bottom, then continue).
  • As they cook, the eggs will become frothy and increase in volume, and then thicken. When you can see the pan bottom through the streaks of the whisk and the eggs are thick and smooth, remove from the heat.
  • By spoonfuls, add the soft butter, whisking constantly to incorporate each addition. As the emulsion forms, you may add the butter in slightly larger amounts, always whisking until fully absorbed. Continue incorporating butter until the sauce has thickened to the consistency you want.
  • Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper, whisking in well. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding droplets of lemon juice if needed. Serve lukewarm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh egg yolks and lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the butter is melted and hot but not boiling.
  • Add the melted butter slowly to the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
  • If the sauce starts to curdle, remove it from the heat and whisk in a tablespoon of cold water.
  • Serve the hollandaise sauce immediately, or keep it warm in a double boiler.

Conclusion:

Blender hollandaise is a quick and easy way to make a classic sauce. It's perfect for eggs Benedict, steamed vegetables, or grilled fish. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious hollandaise sauce that will impress your friends and family.
