Instant Hollandaise Sauce
Hollandaise sauce is notoriously tricky to make—but this recipe
makes it almost impossible to mess up.
Makes 1 cup
8
tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
4
large egg yolks
¼
teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cayenne
1½
tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1. Put the butter into a small skillet over low heat until it is melted
and reaches a slight simmer.
2. While the butter is melting, put the remaining ingredients into the
blender jar. Select Low and blend to combine ingredients, about
30 seconds.
3. With the blender still running on Low, remove the measuring cup
from the cover. Very carefully drizzle in the hot butter through the
opening while using the measuring cup or a dishtowel as a
shield to prevent any splatter.
4. Once all the butter has been added, turn off blender and check
sauce for consistency. If overall consistency is too thick, blend in
1 tablespoon of hot water at a time.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately or
transfer to a double boiler to keep warm.
