Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted and kept warm
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) into a tall, narrow container that fits your immersion blender head snugly.
- Melt the butter completely and keep it warm, but not boiling hot.
- Place the head of the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the container, covering the egg yolks.
- Turn the blender on high speed. Slowly drizzle the warm melted butter into the container in a thin, steady stream while the blender runs. Do not lift the blender head yet.
- Once about half the butter is incorporated, you will see the sauce starting to emulsify and thicken. You can now slowly begin to lift the blender head up and down to incorporate the remaining butter.
- Continue blending until all the butter is added and the hollandaise sauce is thick, smooth, and pale yellow. This should take less than two minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve immediately over Eggs Benedict, steamed vegetables, or seafood.
Notes
- If the sauce is too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Use this sauce immediately; hollandaise does not hold well.
- For a low carb hollandaise, this recipe is naturally keto-friendly.
