Since I discovered this recipeĀ for blender Hollandaise sauce I’ve never gone back to the stove top method. Why double boil when you can blend? It tastes just as delicious but is faster and easier, seriously like 3-5 minutes depending on how long it takes you to crack eggs and microwave butter.

Eric and I have the perfect excuse to not do dishes tonight. The dishwasher is full of clean dishes, our cupboards are empty, and all the other dishes are Ā scattered about the diningĀ room in boxes, laundry baskets, and strewn across the table. There’s no where to put them. Great excuse right??

How to make Hollandaise Sauce

Do you love hollandaise sauce as much as I do? It is one of those simple sauces that I just cant get enough of. ItĀ is not hard to make, but there are a few rules. Do NOT microwave any leftover sauce. The eggs are uncooked (oh my!), meaning if you put the sauce in the microwave it will seize up and curdle and you will have sad chunks of scrambled egg in your sauce. No bueno.

Solution? Same way you heat up breastmilk. (TMI?! This was the easiest way to explain it to my husband the other day, I thought some other parents out thereĀ might relate!) Instead of microwaving, you have to hold the container of sauce (a jar, bowl, or I like to use a glass measuring cup) under running hot water, or set it in a bowl of very hot water. If you want it to get REALLY nice and hot, then set a pot of water on the stove andĀ rest the bowl of sauce in boiling water until hot, stirring so it stays nice and smooth.

This is starting to sound complicated, but it’s not hard. And really the only fussy part about the recipe is for reheating. When you make it the first time, it will be hot from the melted butter, andĀ ready to pour on your breakfast right away. And it’s so quick because you use the blender!

You need a few egg yolks to make hollandaise sauce. (It’s what makes it so rich and custardy! Just like this CrĆØme BrĆ»lĆ©e Cheesecake is rich and custardy << this cheesecake calls forĀ TEN egg yolks.)

Since I discovered this recipeĀ for blender Hollandaise sauce I've never gone back to the stove top method. Why double boil when you can blend? It tastes just as delicious but is faster and easier, seriously like 3-5 minutes depending on how long it takes you to crack eggs and microwave butter.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard, or 1 teaspoon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice, + plus 1 teaspoon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, *
  • 2-3 dashes salt
  • black pepper , to taste
  • 1/2 cup butter, 1 stick, melted (hot!)

Instructions

  • In a blender,** add egg yolks, dijon mustard, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, microwave the butter for about a minute until it is melted and very hot.
  • Open the top spout of your blender. Turn the blender on low and pour in the hot butter. It should thicken immediately.
  • Taste it and make sure all the spices are just right. Add more salt and pepper if you like.
  • Immediately pour the sauce into a measuring cup, bowl, or gravy boat. Place this into another bowl of very hot water. (You want to keep the sauce hot, but if you microwave it, it will curdle.)
  • Serve immediately.
  • Do not microwave to reheat! Run the container under hot water.

Notes

*You can sub a dash or 2 of your favorite hot sauce instead.
** You can totally do this with an immersion blender too!

Eggs Benedict Casserole (Overnight) << this is a great holiday meal, especiallyĀ Christmas morning. The hollandaise recipe to top the casserole calls for cream, which is untraditional but suuuper delicious and rich. You can use the same blender method like in today’s recipe; add the cream with the yolks.

  7. I’ve actually never made hollandaise sauce (apparently neither has my word predict because it’s not predicting. . . ) but this looks like an idea for breakfast šŸ„“šŸ³when you all come šŸ” home! (I spend way too much time looking for these cute emojis). Can’t wait to see the kitchen Karen!
