Summary
Most people don’t try making hollandaise sauce at home because the classic method requires a water bath and constant attention to ensure a perfectly textured sauce. In this fast and easy version, we use a blender to emulsify butter and egg yolks into a perfectly smooth sauce with a hint of brightness from lemon juice. Use it for classic eggs Benedict, or drizzle it over broiled fish or steamed veggies. Pick a great new blender to make this sauce and everything else you want smooth.
Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
