Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 cup unsalted butter ((1/2 pound))
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instruction

  • Melt the butter over low heat in a small pan on the stove until melted, or in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup on high heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
  • Add the yolks and lemon juice to the blender and blend on high for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides and slowly add the water until incorporated.
  • Drizzle the hot butter into the egg yolk mixture, covering the hole of the lid with a kitchen towel to avoid splattering. Blend on high until thickened, about 30-60 seconds.
  • Taste for seasoning and add more lemon juice or salt to taste.
  • The sauce is best when used immediately. If you have leftovers, the hollandaise will keep stored in the fridge up to 3 days. To reheat, warm slowly on low heat.
