Hollandaise Sauce
Description
This Hollandaise Sauce is prepared by blending together egg yolks and lemon juice with melted butter added slowly to create a thick, smooth emulsion. The process of blending at high speed helps achieve the characteristic pale yellow and creamy texture. The sauce is flavored simply with salt and a slight hint of Tabasco sauce for balanced heat and tang.
The final sauce is creamy and rich, with a subtle citrus brightness from the lemon juice. Its smooth consistency and mild spice make it a classic complement for dishes like eggs Benedict, steamed vegetables, or poached fish.
Serving the sauce immediately after preparation ensures optimal texture and flavor, as Hollandaise can separate if held too long or reheated improperly.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 3 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp Tabasco sauce
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter and remove from heat and set aside.
- Add remaining ingredients to a cup that an immersion blender (also called stick blender, wand blender, hand blender) fits into or a blender and blend at high speed until a pale yellow.
- Slowly add the melted butter until fully incorporated and thick on Low speed.
- The result should be a creamy sauce. Season to taste. Scrape the sides of the cup/blender and pour into a serving dish. Serve immediately.
