Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce
Description
This recipe for Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce uses egg yolks blended with fresh lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper until the mixture lightens in color. Hot melted salted butter is then drizzled slowly into the blender while running on high speed, blending the ingredients into a thick and creamy sauce. Salt and black pepper are added to taste, and the sauce is whisked again before serving.
The blender preparation creates a smooth and silky texture common to hollandaise, with bright acidity from lemon and gentle warmth from cayenne. The butter contributes richness and a velvety mouthfeel.
Hollandaise sauce is best served immediately to maintain its emulsified texture and flavor, commonly accompanying dishes like eggs Benedict, steamed vegetables, or fish. Holding it warm briefly in a hot water bath is possible but prolonged storage is not advised.
Since this sauce does not store well, it is recommended to make it fresh and use it within 30 minutes for best quality and safety.
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- ½ cup butter melted, salted
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a blender place in the egg yolks, lemon, and cayenne pepper. Cover and blend on medium until light lemon in color about 1 min.
- Turn the blender on high and pour the hot melted butter in very slowly through the opening in the lid. Continue to blend until thickened. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper and whirl again.
- Pour into serving bowl and serve immediately or place the bowl in a hot water bath to keep warm.
Notes
- Hollandaise sauce should be served immediately or kept briefly warm in a hot water bath but not stored for later use.
- Do not store leftovers as the sauce can separate and spoil quickly.
