Equipment

  • Small Saucepan
  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter slowly melted
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice more to taste
  • ½ tsp Sea salt to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt the butter slowly in a small saucepan. Try not to let it boil because you want the moisture in the butter to remain there and not steam away.
  • While the butter is slowly melting, blend the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper in a blender. 
  • Blend for about 20-30 seconds, or until lightened in color. The friction from the blender blades will heat the yolks while blending, and also add air to the hollandaise, making it lighter.
  • Turn the blender down to its very lowest speed and slowly drizzle in the melted butter while the blender is running. Continue blending for a few seconds to be sure the butter is fully combined.
  • Taste and add more lemon or salt if desired.
  • Pour into a serving container and keep warm until used. You can also place the serving container into a shallow bowl of hot water to help keep it warm. Use within the hour.
