Easy Blender Hollandaise (with Chipotle!)
This Easy Blender Hollandaise infuses classic hollandaise sauce with a smoky kick from chipotle in adobo sauce. The sauce is smooth and creamy with a balance of tangy lemon juice and warm melted butter, quickly emulsified in a blender. It offers a spiced variation of a traditional topping that pairs well with eggs Benedict, vegetables, or grilled seafood.

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.
