This easy, no-fail Hollandaise Sauce is rich, velvety, and full of buttery, lemon flavor. With just three ingredients and five minutes, you will have delicious hollandaise!
Place the egg yolks and lemon juice into a blender container. Cover, and blend for about 10 seconds.
Next, place the butter into a microwave-safe dish and heat for approximately one minute, or until melted and hot. *Make sure the butter stays hot, not lukewarm, for proper emulsion.
With the blender at high speed, pour the butter into the blender container in a thin stream until all the butter has been added. The sauce should be thickened and pale yellow.
Notes
If using unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Run sauce through a fine strainer to remove lumps or excess air bubbles (from blending).
A dash of hot sauce or a ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper is a great addition to this sauce.
