RICH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE



Rich Hollandaise Sauce image

This is the classic way to make Hollandaise that I learned in culinary school. It is so much less intimidating now. Once the technique is mastered, it's a great tool to have on hand to transform and elevate many dishes at home. Serve over eggs Benedict or simple poached eggs and toast. Also great with steamed asparagus or broccoli.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a small pot with water to a depth of 2 inches; bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a medium heatproof bowl until well combined and smooth. Set bowl over the simmering water and whisk constantly, moving bowl on and off heat occasionally, until thickened, light yellow, and doubled in volume. The mixture should "ribbon" slightly when a whisk comes in and out. Remove from heat.
  • Drizzle melted butter into the egg mixture, a few drops at a time, whisking constantly. Add remaining lemon juice in 2 batches as mixture thickens. Whisk constantly until all butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt and cayenne pepper. Serve immediately.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

This rich yet airy Hollandaise sauce is the basis for several other warm emulsions; the best-known variation is bearnaise, which includes the addition of tarragon. This recipe is adapted from the "Martha Stewart's Cooking School" cookbook.

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large egg yolks
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into tablespoons
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

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.
