Equipment
- Blender, or small food processor
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoon unsalted butter 1½ sticks
- 4 egg yolks room temp
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper or more, to taste
- warm water as needed
Instructions
- Place butter in a small saucepan, and melt over medium-low heat.
- In a blender, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne and blend for about 10 to 15 seconds.
- Remove the vent from the lid of the blender. Carefully turn back on the blender.
- Slowly pour in the warm melted butter. Blend until sauce is thick and smooth.
- Taste, and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Slowly, and gradually, add enough warm water until you reach your desired pourable consistency.
- Serve within 1 hour. If you are making ahead of time, add 1 tablespoon of hot tap water and blend before serving. But really, it's so easy, you can make this an hour before you need it, with no problem.

Impossible to fail at this super simple Hollandaise sauce! It came out perfect and making ahead of time (then reconstitue with water) was a life saver.

Awesome!! So so glad you had success with the hollandaise sauce! It's a game changer, right? Happy Sunday, friend!
Patti says
I am going to make this for sure. I have a food processor and an immersion mixer but no blender. Can I still make the hollandaise?
Kris Longwell says
Hi Patti! An immersion blender should do the trick. And probably a food processor, though we've never tried that. Add the warm butter nice and slow, and it should thicken perfectly. Let us know if you try it and how it turns out! Best, Kris & Wesley
