-
Melt the butter in a microwave (cover the dish or it will splatter) for about 1 minute, until it is hot. Or on the stove top. Your butter needs to be hot, not just melted to emulsify.
-
Add the yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, and cayenne pepper into a blender and blend for 5 seconds until combined.
-
With the blender running on medium-high, slowly stream the hot butter into the mixture until it is emulsified.
-
Pour the hollandaise sauce into a small bowl and serve warm.
Pro Tips
If you would like more sauce, just add another yolk and up to another ½ cup of melted butter.
Serve hollandaise with salmon, asparagus, or Eggs Benedict.
You can also use a submersible blender to make this recipe.
