We’ve adapted this amazing (almost) never-fail Hollandaise recipe from Julia Child’s classic, The French Chef Cookbook. If you thought “French chef” meant Cordon Bleu training, fuggedaboutit. This is so darn easy you’ll wonder why you ever used a mix. We like to hair it up with a little extra lemon juice for a good taste bud tickle, then sprinkle a dusting of cayenne on the plated and sauced Benedict. You can also sprinkle with sweet, smoked Hungarian paprika for visual appeal if you’re not into spicy brunches.
With Hollandaise this easy and this delicious, you won’t want to limit yourself to Eggs Benedict. The sauce is also delicious on steamed vegetables. Try it on the season’s first asparagus.
Tip: do not try this in a food processor! Only a good old blender or hand-mixer will do.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup Organic Valley Salted Butter
- 3 Organic Valley egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- salt to taste
- pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
In small sauce pan, melt butter to very hot, almost bubbling.
In blender jar, combine yolks, lemon juice and salt (and cayenne, if using) and blend on medium (puree setting on most blenders) for 30 seconds.
With blender still on medium, remove cap from blender lid and slowly dribble the very hot butter into the yolk mixture. The sauce generally thickens after about half of the hot butter has been added, and you will be able to add the butter more quickly after that.
