Easy Blender Hollandaise (with Chipotle!)
Description
Easy Blender Hollandaise (with Chipotle!) is a homemade hollandaise sauce made by blending egg yolks with lemon juice and chipotle sauce, then slowly incorporating hot melted butter to create a thick and creamy emulsion. The use of chipotle in adobo adds a smoky, subtle heat to the rich, buttery base. The sauce thickens as the butter is slowly poured in and blended, and its texture can be adjusted with small amounts of hot water for desired consistency.
The final sauce is kept warm gently to preserve texture and flavor until serving. This chipotle variation brings a spicy dimension to the classic hollandaise, making it suited for adding depth to dishes like poached eggs, steamed vegetables, or grilled fish.
Because the sauce uses raw egg yolks, it should be consumed fresh. Adjust seasoning with salt depending on whether salted or unsalted butter is used.
Ingredients
- 3 egg large, yolk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce just the sauce, not the pepper
- ½ cup butter (either salted or unsalted, melted and hot)
Instructions
- Add egg yolks, lemon juice, and sauce from chipotle en adobo peppers into the container of a blender. Cover and blend for 3-5 seconds.
- Add butter to a pan and melt over low heat.
- Once melted, turn the blender on high speed; semi-slowly pour in melted butter in a thin stream until the sauce thickens, about 15 to 30 seconds. Note: the longer you run the blender, the thicker the hollandaise will become.
- Test the texture of the sauce. If you'd prefer it thinner, add ½ - 1 teaspoon of hot water at a time and blend. Repeat until you are satisfied with the viscosity of the sauce.
- Keep sauce warm until serving by either pouring the hollandaise in a dish placed over a bowl of hot tap water or add to the pan the butter was melted in and keep it on the stovetop over low heat.
Notes
- Adjust salt after blending based on butter type; usually needed with unsalted butter.
- Keep the sauce warm by placing the container over warm water or on low heat to maintain thickness before serving.
- Add hot water in small amounts if the sauce is thicker than desired and blend again to adjust consistency.
