Blender Hollandaise

sugarpea's Note:

Handy recipe from "The Joy of Cooking". Much faster and more foolproof than handmade Hollandaise but paler and less flavorful. The recipe relies on the entire quantity of heated butter to cook the egg yolks so don't try to make a smaller batch.

• Prep Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 cup

• 3 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2. Cover blender container and turn on motor to high; blend for 3 seconds; with motor running, remove lid, and add butter slowly, in a steady stream, taking 30 seconds to pour the butter in.
3. Serve immediately or keep sauce warm by placing blender container in warm water.

This is the easiest hollandaise sauce I have ever made and is delicious. The only thing different that I did was the I coddled the eggs first. Great recipe.
