Description

Hollandaise sauce is one of the most classic sauces you can make. It is a rich, creamy emulsion of butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice. This recipe is a classic version of Hollandaise that is simple to make but has a complex flavor. It is a great accompaniment to a variety of dishes, including fish, eggs, and vegetables.

This recipe was adapted from the classic cookbook, Joy of Cooking. The adaptation includes a few additional ingredients, such as vinegar and mustard, that give the Hollandaise a unique flavor. This recipe also includes instructions for making the sauce in a blender, which makes the process easier and quicker.

Ingredients

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the egg yolks, melted butter, vinegar, mustard, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

2. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.

Notes

Hollandaise sauce can be served immediately after making, or it can be kept warm over low heat for up to 30 minutes. To keep the sauce warm, cover the saucepan with a lid and stir occasionally.
