Step 1: Make the hollandaise
Hollandaise Sauce
- butter112 g1 stick
- egg yolks3
- lemon juice15 ga spoonful
- saltto taste
- paprikaa sprinkle
In a blender, blend together egg yolks and lemon juice until creamy and lightened in color. While the blender is going on high speed, slowly stream in the warm melted butter, little by little, until it has fully into the egg yolks and is smooth and creamy.
- It’s like making mayo: if you go too fast, the sauce will break and you’ll have to start over.
Season to taste with salt, more lemon juice, and paprika or cayenne if using. Move to a sauce pot or covered container to keep warm until serving.
