Rich Hollandaise Sauce image

This is the classic way to make Hollandaise that I learned in culinary school. It is so much less intimidating now. Once the technique is mastered, it's a great tool to have on hand to transform and elevate many dishes at home. Serve over eggs Benedict or simple poached eggs and toast. Also great with steamed asparagus or broccoli.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a small pot with water to a depth of 2 inches; bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a medium heatproof bowl until well combined and smooth. Set bowl over the simmering water and whisk constantly, moving bowl on and off heat occasionally, until thickened, light yellow, and doubled in volume. The mixture should "ribbon" slightly when a whisk comes in and out. Remove from heat.
  • Drizzle melted butter into the egg mixture, a few drops at a time, whisking constantly. Add remaining lemon juice in 2 batches as mixture thickens. Whisk constantly until all butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt and cayenne pepper. Serve immediately.
