3 INGREDIENT HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt 2 sticks of butter.
• Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a blender. Then you can discard the whites.
• Turn the blender on low to allow the yolks to combine, and then begin pouring the hot butter in a thin stream into the blender.
• The blender should remain on the whole time, and you should be careful to pour in the butter very slowly. Don't just pour it all in at once otherwise you will have cooked egg yolks. You are tempering the yolks at this point.
• After you pour in the last of the butter, then immediately begin squeezing lemon juice into the blender. You should use the juice of one lemon.
• Check the blender to make sure the sauce is not super thick. If it is and is not moving very well, add a little more juice and give it a stir, then blend again.
• Add in a generous shake of cayenne pepper. I promise it will not make it HOT!
• If the sauce is too thick, continue to blend while adding more lemon juice. Once you get it to the consistency you want, add a little pinch of salt and pepper.
• Taste then pour over your eggs benedict for the perfect brunch meal

SUNNY'S 1-2-3 HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the lemon juice and yolks to a medium bowl and whisk together.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add egg yolks to a small saucepan; whisk until lemon yellow and slightly thick, about 1 minute. Whisk in lemon juice.
• Add 2 tablespoons cold butter, and place over very low heat. Whisk constantly while butter is melting, and continue whisking until thick enough to see the pan between strokes. Remove pan from heat, and beat in 1 tablespoon cold butter. Repeat. Whisk in melted butter a little bit at a time. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

BASIC HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Use a small, thick ceramic bowl set in a heavy-bottomed pan, or a heavyweight double boiler. Off the heat, put the egg yolks and cream in the bowl or upper section of the double boiler and stir with a wire whisk until well-blended - the mixture should never be beaten but stirred, evenly, vigorously and continually. Place the container over hot water (if you are setting the bowl in water, there should be about 1 1/2 inches of water in the pan; in a double boiler, the water should not touch the top section). Stirring eggs continuously, bring the water slowly to a simmer. Do not let it boil. Stir, incorporating the entire mixture so there is no film at the bottom. When the eggs have thickened to consistency of very heavy cream, begin to add the cooled melted butter with one hand, stirring vigorously with the other. Pour extremely slowly so that each addition is blended into the egg mixture before more is added. When all the butter has been added, add the lemon juice or vinegar a drop at a time and immediately remove from heat. Add salt and a mere dash of cayenne.

EASY 3-INGREDIENT HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Boil water in double boiler or sauce pan. Place glass bowl over top of sauce pan if using this method.
• Place 1/2 cup butter in double boiler or glass bowl. Allow to mostly melt.
• Add 2 egg yolks and 2 TBS lemon juice.
• Quickly whisk for 3-6 minutes or until sauce thickens to your liking.
• If sauce starts to separate, whisk faster for a minute or two longer.
• If this still doesn't make it come together again, drop an ice cube into the bowl and whisk until it is melted. I don't know why, but ice does the trick!
• Serve with artichokes, asparagus, eggs benedict, etc.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan and skim any white solids from the surface. Keep the butter warm.
• Put the egg yolks, white wine or tarragon vinegar, a pinch of salt and a splash of ice-cold water in a metal or glass bowl that will fit over a small pan. Whisk for a few minutes, then put the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and whisk continuously until pale and thick, about 3-5 mins.
• Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the melted butter bit by bit until it's all incorporated and you have a creamy hollandaise. (If it gets too thick, add a splash of water.) Season with a squeeze of lemon juice and a little cayenne pepper. Keep warm until needed.
• To make eggs benedict, toast the muffin halves, top each half with a slice of warmed ham and a poached egg, and spoon over a generous helping of hollandaise.
