Asparagus with Blender Hollandaise image

When asparagus stalks are at peak-season freshness in the spring, asparagus with Hollandaise sauce is a classic pairing worth revisiting. In Martha's easy-to-make version, the normally fussy sauce comes together in seconds with help from a blender.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound jumbo asparagus, trimmed, bottom halves peeled

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.

I've never made hollandaise sauce before, but this recipe made it so easy! The sauce was smooth and creamy, and the asparagus was cooked perfectly.

This dish was just okay. The hollandaise sauce was a bit bland and the asparagus was a bit tough.

This recipe was a disaster! The hollandaise sauce was lumpy and the asparagus was overcooked.

The hollandaise sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste, but the asparagus was cooked perfectly.
