Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce

Another kitchen confession of mine, I was afraid to make hollandaise sauce, how about you?  Well fear no more, I am going to show you a quick and easy way to do it, using a kitchen blender! If the great Julia Child did it this way, then so can we! I promise you, your weekend brunch will never be the same again, I am addicted to this rich lemony sauce, and eggs benedict is something I look forward too now on Sunday mornings!






3 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch black pepper ( I like cayenne)
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
8 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

Directions:

In a blender, combine the egg yolks, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Set aside.

In a small saucepan over medium-high, add the butter and heat until foaming.

Blend the egg yolk mixture at top speed for 2 seconds then, with the blender running, remove the cover and pour in the hot butter in a thin stream of droplets. By the time two-thirds of the butter has been added, the sauce will be a thick cream. Continue pouring, but don't pour in the milky residue at the bottom of the pan. Taste and adjust seasonings.

If not using the sauce immediately, set the blender carafe in tepid, but not warm, water.
