Hollandaise Sauce
Holy Moly I'm in a Daze Sauce. Damn... fat and cholesterol never tasted so good! Just make sure your meds are in check and your at least 3 months till your next doctors appointment.
Makes 1 cup sauce
Ingredients
10 tablespoons Straus Family Creamery® Unsalted Butter
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt, divided
Directions
Melt the butter slowly in a small pot. Try not to let it boil, you want the moisture in the butter to remain there and not steam away.
Add the egg yolks, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt into a blender. Blend the egg yolk mixture for 30 seconds at a medium high speed, until it lightens in color. Use a timer or count out loud, blending for the full 30 seconds. This step gives the sauce more body.
The friction generated by the blender blades will heat the yolks a bit. The blending action will also introduce a little air into them, making your hollandaise a bit lighter.
Transfer the melted butter to a glass measuring cup with a spout so it’s easy to pour in a thin stream. Remove the plug from the blender lid. Turn the blender speed to low (if you only have one speed on your blender, it will still work). With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the melted butter.
Continue to blend for another couple seconds after the butter is all incorporated.
Turn off the blender and taste the sauce. It should be buttery, lemony and just lightly salted. If it is not salty or lemony enough, you can add a little more lemon juice or the remaining salt to taste.
Store until needed in a warm spot, but use quickly. Use within 30 minutes or so.
Notes
- For eggs benedict, I use a spice topping with equal portions of cayenne, old bay, smoked paprika and RealSalt® Season Salt.
- If egg yolks are small add a fourth to make up the difference.
