Make rich, creamy, restaurant-style Hollandaise sauce in under five minutes using an immersion blender. This foolproof method skips the double boiler and guarantees a velvety texture perfect for Eggs Benedict or asparagus.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and kept hot

Instructions

  1. Place the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper into a tall, narrow container that fits the head of your immersion blender snugly.
  2. Melt the butter completely. Keep it hot but not boiling.
  3. Place the head of the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the container over the egg mixture.
  4. Turn the blender on high speed. Slowly drizzle the hot melted butter into the container in a thin, steady stream while the blender runs. Do not lift the blender head yet.
  5. Once about half the butter is incorporated, you will see the emulsion begin to form. You can now slowly tilt and lift the blender head to incorporate the remaining butter until the sauce is thick and creamy.
  6. Taste the sauce. Add more lemon juice if you want more tanginess. If the sauce is too thick, you can whisk in a few drops of warm water until you reach your desired consistency.
  7. Serve immediately over Eggs Benedict, steamed asparagus, or seafood.

Notes

  • For a Keto Hollandaise Sauce, this recipe is naturally low carb and fits well into a low-fat diet plan.
  • If the sauce breaks (separates), place the broken sauce and one fresh egg yolk into a clean container. Slowly drizzle the broken sauce into the fresh yolk while blending with the immersion blender until it emulsifies again.
  • Always use hot, freshly melted butter for the best results in this quick sauce recipe.
