Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Warm water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
Directions
Step 1
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until fully liquid, ensuring it doesn’t brown. Set aside and keep warm.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Blend on high speed for about 15 seconds until the mixture is light and frothy.
Step 3
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle the warm melted butter into the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream. Blend until the sauce is thickened and smooth, about 20–30 seconds.
Step 4
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding additional salt or lemon juice if desired. If the sauce is too thick, blend in a teaspoon of warm water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
Serve immediately over your favorite dish. If needed, keep the hollandaise warm for up to 30 minutes by placing the blender jar in a bowl of warm water, stirring occasionally. Avoid direct heat to prevent curdling.
