  1. As far as I am concerned this is the ONLY way to make hollandaise! Quick, delicious and always turns out just right. One trick I learned years ago is to run VERY hot water into the blender, then dump it out and dry the blender right before you make the sauce. This keeps the sauce a bit warmer if you have other last minute things to do and no need for the double boiler. Thanks for posting, Paula.
     
  2. Super fast, super easy, super good! Need I say more? I doubled the recipe, added 2 additional T. of lemon juice (I like my sauce lemony), and a pinch of salt. I must have had industrial strength organic omega-3 egg yolks, though, because by the time I got it all back into the pan, it thickened up to an almost pudding consistency! I fixed this by adding a bit of water to thin it out. I also didn't bother with the double boiler. I melted the butter in a pan, poured it out into the blender, then poured all of the sauce back into the same pan, and put it back onto my still hot (but turned off) electric burner and stirred it occasionally until my fish was ready. I turned the heat on to low, just about 2 min. before everything was done just to make sure it was nice and hot. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. YUMMY!!!! I made this only on a double boiler and kept it moving with a whisk. I added some salt and pepper to taste and when it got a little too thick, I thinned it out with a splash of half and half. It was delicious!
     
  4. Pretty good, my family loved it! I would've added a LOT less lemon juice, but overall, I enjoyed it :)
     
  5. Made this exactly as stated but added lemon zest and it was wonderful. Excellent!

  1. Delicious. I added an extra tsp of lemon juice and used a dash or two of Tabasco sauce in place of the cayenne. I kept all else the same, This was a creamy and delicious sauce. Thank you!
     
  2. This was so incredibly easy to make and so delicious. I made it to use in KelBels Salmon Wellington Recipe #160709. Thank you PaulaG for sharing this recipe: I really treasure such recipes when I find them. The only change I made (personal taste preference) was to use freshly ground black pepper instead of cayenne pepper.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
