Make rich, creamy Hollandaise sauce quickly using an immersion blender. This foolproof method bypasses the stress of traditional whisking, delivering restaurant-quality sauce for your Eggs Benedict, asparagus, or seafood in under five minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the butter into 8 pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the butter until it is fully melted and hot, about 60 to 90 seconds. Set aside.
  2. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) into a tall, narrow container that fits your immersion blender blade snugly.
  3. Place the immersion blender directly onto the bottom of the container, ensuring the blade covers the yolks.
  4. Turn the blender on high speed. While the blender runs, slowly drizzle the hot melted butter into the container in a thin, steady stream over the spinning blades. Do not lift the blender until most of the butter is incorporated.
  5. Once the butter is mostly added, slowly lift the blender up and down to incorporate any remaining butter and ensure the sauce is thick and emulsified.
  6. Stop the blender. Taste the sauce and adjust salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve immediately over Eggs Benedict, steamed asparagus, or salmon.

Notes

  • If the sauce is too thick, add a few drops of warm water until you reach your desired consistency.
  • You must use hot, fully melted butter for this immersion blender method to work correctly.
  • This sauce is best used immediately. If you must hold it, keep it warm in a thermos or a bowl set over warm (not hot) water.
