INGREDIENTS
| 3 | egg yolks |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup / 8 tbsp / 1 stick | butter (unsalted and lactose free recommended) |
| 1 tbsp | lemon juice |
| 1 tsp | dijon mustard |
| 1/8 tsp | cayenne pepper |
| – | no salt added recommended! Add max 1/8 tsp if you must… |
DIRECTIONS
- Melt the butter in a microwave (make sure it’s covered as it will splatter) for about 1 1/2 minute, until it’s hot. Alternatively, you could heat it on the stove.
- Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, dijon and cayenne pepper into a high powered blender and blend for 5 seconds until combined.
- With the blender running on medium high, slowly stream in the hot butter into the mixture until it’s emulsified.
- Pour the hollandaise sauce into a small bowl and serve while warm.
TIPS:
- Your butter needs to be hot, not just melted. The recipe will not emulsify with luke warm butter.
