Hollandaise Sauce Ingredients

Method

Hollandaise Sauce Directions

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Heat the Egg Mixture

    Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method). Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Butter

    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg mixture while whisking vigorously to emulsify the sauce. Continue until all the butter is incorporated.

  5. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste, whisking to combine. Remove from heat and serve immediately, or keep warm until ready to serve.
