Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0 Cayenne pepper or smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Melt the butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquid. Once melted, set it aside but keep it warm.
Step 2
Prepare the blender: In the jar of a blender, combine the egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, and salt. Blend on medium speed for about 10 seconds to mix and slightly aerate the ingredients.
Step 3
Add the butter gradually: With the blender running on low speed, very slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter. Start by adding just a few drops at a time to ensure the emulsion forms correctly. Gradually increase the flow once the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify.
Step 4
Adjust consistency if needed: If the sauce is too thick, you can blend in 1 teaspoon of warm water at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Check seasoning: Taste the hollandaise sauce and adjust the salt or lemon juice if necessary to balance the flavor to your liking.
Step 6
Serve immediately: Transfer the warm hollandaise sauce to a serving dish. Optionally, dust lightly with cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a touch of color and spice.
Step 7
Keep warm: If not serving immediately, keep the sauce warm by placing the bowl in a larger bowl of warm (not hot) water, stirring occasionally to prevent it from setting.
