Ingredients
  

Sauce Base
  • 3 large Egg yolks Provide richness
  • 1/2 cup Butter Adds creaminess, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice Brings acidity, use fresh lemons for best flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavors
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper Adds a hint of spice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat until it is completely liquid.
  2. In your blender, add the egg yolks along with the lemon juice and salt.
Cooking
  1. Blend the egg yolks, lemon juice, and salt on medium speed until the mixture is frothy.
  2. With the blender running, gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture until it is fully incorporated.
  3. Continue to blend until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  4. Season with cayenne pepper to taste, blending briefly to combine.
Serving
  1. Transfer the Hollandaise sauce to a serving bowl.
  2. Serve immediately while warm, or keep in a warm place until you are ready to use it.

Notes

Ensure your butter is warm but not too hot to prevent cooking the egg yolks. If the sauce separates, whisk in a splash of warm water to revive it. This sauce can easily be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently before serving.
