This nearly foolproof technique lets the blender do the sauce-making for you, yielding a slightly thicker hollandaise that is still creamy, smooth and perfect for topping poached eggs or steamed asparagus.

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat and let cool slightly.
  • Add egg yolks to the jar of a blender. While the motor is running, slowly pour in the melted butter. When all of the butter has been added, season with lemon juice, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Blend to combine. 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 30 minutes over hot water in a bain-marie or in a Thermos.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for serving
8 slices (8 ounces) Canadian bacon
4 English muffins, split
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Blender Hollandaise Sauce, kept warm
Watercress, for serving
Cayenne pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • Crack eggs into a bowl. Fill a large pot with 3 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to medium. When water is barely simmering, tilt pan slightly to create a wave and add eggs all at once. After 30 seconds, gently release eggs from bottom of pan with a rubber spatula.
  • Cook eggs until white is set and yolk is still soft, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, gently transfer eggs to a bowl filled with room temperature water.
  • Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add Canadian bacon in two batches and cook until crisp, flipping once, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Preheat broiler. Arrange English-muffin halves craggy side up on a baking sheet. Broil until golden and toasted, 1 minute. Spread with butter and top with crisp bacon. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon and blot on a folded paper towel to remove excess water. Top muffin halves with poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hollandaise over muffin. Top with watercress and a pinch of cayenne.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound jumbo asparagus, trimmed, bottom halves peeled

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; let cool about 5 minutes. Put egg yolks in a blender. With motor running, gradually add butter. Add lemon juice and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. (Sauce should be thick but fluid enough to drizzle from a spoon, and should form a pool, not a mound. If too thick, thin with warm water.) Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Sauce is best used immediately, but can be stored in a thermos about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet. Add asparagus, in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; drain. Serve warm or room temperature, with sauce.
