Best Hollandaise Sauce For Vegetables Recipes

EASY NO-FAIL HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Use a double boiler or place a bowl over a saucepan with about 1 inch of water in the bottom simmering to do the cooking.
• Break the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Once separated, whisk the egg yolks slightly.
• Add the whisked eggs, and softened butter to the bowl over the simmering water and whisk until the butter has almost all melted. Add the 1/3 cup of boiling water. (I just heated my water in the microwave for a minute).
• Keep whisking the egg mixture and cook until it reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F. As the mixture continues to cook, the eggs will become frothy and increase in volume, and then thicken.
• When you can see the pan bottom through the streaks of the whisk and the eggs are thick and smooth, remove from the heat and add your seasonings. Such as, lemon, salt and pepper, cayenne pepper, Cajun seasoning, or a variety of other seasonings.
• If not using right away, keep in a warm spot until ready to use. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a few drops of warm water whisked in before serving.

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.

STEAMED VEGETABLES WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a blender, place the yolks, salt, mustard, lemon juice, and tabasco.
• 2. Blend for about 5 seconds. Then, while blender is turned on, pour in the butter, which should be good and hot. (the temperature of the butter is the secret to this - make it very hot, taking care not to let it burn, and the hollandaise will thicken right away).
• 3. Heat sauce for a minute in the microwave or in a pan on the stove top. If you heat it on top of the stove, stir it constantly so that it doesn't burn. Pour over top of vegetables and/or the meat you might be serving with this. (The best thing, in my opinion, is to serve the sauce on the side in a bowl with a spoon. Let each person spoon however much they would like to have over their vegetables.)

CLASSIC HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, cold water, salt and pepper. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Gradually whisk yolk mixture into butter. Continue whisking over low heat for 8 minutes, or until sauce is thickened. Serve immediately.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Vigorously whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a stainless steel bowl and until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler,) the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume. Remove from heat, whisk in cayenne and salt. Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use for the eggs benedict. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.
• Brown the bacon in a medium skillet and toast the English muffins, cut sides up, on a baking sheet under the broiler. Fill a 10-inch nonstick skillet half full of water. Add white vinegar to the cooking water. This will make the egg white cook faster so it does not spread. Bring to a slow boil. Gently break 1 of the eggs into the water taking care not to break it. Repeat with remaining eggs. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook 3 1/2 minutes until the egg white is set and yolk remains soft. Remove with a slotted spoon, allowing the egg to drain. To assemble: Lay a slice of Canadian bacon on top of each muffin half, followed by a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Garnish with chopped parsley.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat so water is barely simmering.
• Off the heat, whisk egg yolks in a heatproof bowl or on top of a double boiler until they become pale. Place over the simmering water. Whisking constantly, cook until the mixture is thick enough to hold a trail from the whisk and begins to hold its shape when drizzled from the whisk, about 3 minutes.
• Whisking constantly, add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each addition is incorporated completely before adding the next. When all the butter has been added, season with lemon juice, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. The sauce should be thick but still able to drizzle from a spoon (and it should form a pool, not a mound). If it is too thick, thin it with a little water.
• The sauce is best if used immediately but can sit for about an hour over hot water in a bain-marie or in a Thermos.
