Ingredients

• Dairy
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
• Eggs
  • 3 large egg yolks
• Acidity & Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra stability)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or black pepper

Instructions

1. Melt the butter

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe container until hot and bubbling (do not let it brown).

2. Blend yolks and flavorings

In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard (if using), salt, and cayenne/black pepper.

3. Initial blend

Blend on medium speed for 10 seconds to combine.

4. Stream in butter

With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter in a thin, steady stream. Blend until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy (about 20–30 seconds).

5. Season and serve

Taste and adjust seasoning or lemon as desired. Serve immediately over eggs Benedict, steamed vegetables, or fish.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Verwenden Sie die Sauce sofort für die beste Konsistenz. Wenn sie zu dick wird, einfach einen Esslöffel heißes Wasser unterrühren. Für eine leichtere Variante kann die Hälfte der Butter durch geklärtes Pflanzenöl ersetzt werden.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Durch den optionalen Dijon-Senf wird die Sauce etwas stabiler. Probieren Sie statt Cayenne auch schwarzen Pfeffer für eine mildere Schärfe, oder variieren Sie die Zitrone ganz nach Geschmack.

Serviervorschläge

Blender Hollandaise ist perfekt zu klassischen Eggs Benedict, zu pochiertem Lachs, über gedämpftem Spargel oder als besonderer Dip für Artischocken und Frühlingsgemüse.

Recipe Guide

→ Can I use whole eggs instead of just yolks?

Whole eggs create a thinner, less rich emulsion and can make the sauce looser. For the classic, silky texture use yolks; if you prefer a lighter finish, try one whole egg plus two yolks and adjust butter slowly.

→ How do I prevent the sauce from breaking?

Temperature control and slow incorporation of hot butter are key. Start with room-temperature yolks, blend briefly, then stream the hot butter in a thin, steady stream while blending on low. If it begins to split, stop adding butter and whisk in a tablespoon of hot water to bring it back together.

→ Can I use clarified butter or oil?

Clarified butter reduces water content and yields a smoother finish; use it for a cleaner butter flavor. For a lighter version, substitute half the butter with a neutral oil and blend as usual, though the result will be less buttery.

→ Is this safe to serve to everyone?

Traditional hollandaise uses raw egg yolks. Use pasteurized eggs when serving elderly, pregnant, or immunocompromised guests, or take care to keep yolks and butter hot enough during emulsification to reduce risk.

→ How long can I store leftovers and reheat them?

Store in the refrigerator up to 48 hours in an airtight container. Reheat gently over very low heat or warm water while whisking; if it thickens, whisk in a small amount of hot water to loosen the texture. Avoid overheating to prevent breaking.

→ What are classic pairings for hollandaise?

Classic pairings include eggs Benedict, steamed asparagus, poached salmon, artichokes, and spring vegetables. The sauce also brightens grilled fish and roasted vegetables with a squeeze of lemon.
