Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Warm water (optional, for thinning)
Directions
Step 1
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until fully melted and hot, but not browned. Set aside and keep warm.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Blend on high speed for 10-15 seconds until the mixture is frothy and pale.
Step 3
With the blender running on a low setting, very slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture. Start with just a few drops at a time, then gradually increase the stream once emulsification begins. This process should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
Step 5
If the sauce is too thick, blend in 1 tablespoon of warm water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 6
Serve immediately over your favorite dish, such as eggs benedict, roasted asparagus, or grilled fish. If necessary, keep the sauce warm by placing the blender container in a bowl of warm water, stirring occasionally.
