Ingredients
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice divided
- 1/2 cup butter
- cracked pepper
Instructions
Get prepped
- Separate the egg yolks (discard the whites), juice the lemon and get your blender ready.
Cup of Yum
Melt the butter
- Melt the butter in small saucepan until hot and foamy (do not brown). You can melt the butter in the microwave, if you prefer.
- Discard the foam from the butter.
Blend
- Add the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice to blender and blend for 30 seconds (don’t forgot to put the lid on!). The heat from blending will help make your sauce thick.
- Open the top and with the blender running, slowly stream the hot butter in a steady, thin stream.
- Add the pepper then taste the sauce, adding the other tablespoon of lemon juice if you like it super lemony.
Keep warm
- Use immediately or keep warm by adding the sauce to a bowl and setting it in another bowl filled with warm, simmering water.
Notes
- Let the butter cool slightly. You do NOT want to use steaming hot butter, that’s what can cause your sauce to “break”
- Add a little cayenne pepper to the hollandaise for a kick.
- Use dill OR parsley on top to make it pretty!
- Make sure you serve the hollandaise as soon as you can after it’s made. It will congeal in a not so pretty way if you leave it! (keep it warm by setting it in a stainless steel bowl, and setting the bowl in ANOTHER bowl, with simmering water in it (but with the bowl not touching the water).
- If you have a double boiler to keep the sauce warm, that works too!
