Happy Good Friday to you all! I’m starting my Easter prep early because we are hosting large gathering Sunday, and if I am able to share a recipe or two before Sunday with you, I’m going to try.
Today I have a very quick and easy recipe for you for hollandaise sauce made in a blender. It literally takes about 2-3 minutes and can really elevate certain dishes to make them look and tastes like a fancy restaurant dish like roasted asparagus, Eggs Benedict, or over salmon.
My only tips I would like to suggest is to season as you go. Meaning, start light with the salt, lemon juice, cayenne, and Dijon mustard. A little goes a long way and it is always wiser when seasoning with bold flavors to go light and add more. With that said, enjoy the sauce. It is a great, rich, and velvety sauce that every cook should know. Have a great weekend.
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- Put the egg yolks, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, salt, mustard, and cayenne in blender.
- Heat the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds first and then in 15 second increments until melted and slightly foamy (approx. 45 seconds total).
- Place the lid on the blender and blend on high for 5 seconds.
- Remove the venting lid from the blender lid cover.
- Blend the egg mixture on medium high speed and slowly pour in a very thin stream the hot butter while the blender is on.
- Once all the butter has been added, place the vent lid back on the blender and blend on high for 5 seconds.
- Taste the sauce and add the remaining lemon juice if necessary if not more to your liking.
- Serve immediately.
I’m looking forward to trying this. My home made hollandaise so far has been an absolutel disaster. A lumpy, sticky mess. Thanks.
this is really easy that i decided to try this on the weekend.:)
I loved the dish, I was up with water in the mouth. Congratulations post
So excited to try this, Alice! Thank you! xoxo
Oh my gosh…this looks fantastic! And its nice and easy, that is a good thing too! I’ve done a lot of cooking in my life, but have never made Hollandaise Sauce. This inspires me to try it out! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the recipe! Quick and easy recipes are my favorite, as patience is not one of my strong suits 🙂
