Instructions

Blender Method

  1. Place all ingredients except butter in the blender. With the blender on low speed, add butter as slowly as possible until thick and fluffy.
  2. Once butter is added and the mixture is thick, stop blending immediately. Season to taste.

Stove Top Method

  1. Create a double boiler by placing water in a saucepan and setting a large bowl over the water. Ensure the water is not touching the bowl.
  2. Bring water just to a simmer below the bowl. Add egg yolks, lemon juice, and dry mustard to the bowl and whisk until light yellow in color and slightly thickened.
  3. Remove the bowl from the heat and drizzle in butter as slowly as possible while whisking until the butter is incorporated and the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Season to taste.

Notes

  • If the hollandaise is too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time.
  • Melt the butter but do not add to the egg yolks until slightly cooled to prevent it from cooking the eggs. 
  • If the sauce "breaks" whisk in a few drops of boiling water to blend it back together.
