Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 egg yolks at room temperature
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard powder
1 Tbsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
dash or two of tabasco sauce
1 stick butter, melted

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.)
