Ingredients
3egg yolks
1tablespoonlemon juice
¼cuphot water
1cupunsalted butter(½ pound)
Pinchof kosher salt
Instructions
Melt the butter over low heat in a small pan on the stove until melted, or in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup on high heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
Add the yolks and lemon juice to the blender and blend on high for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides and slowly add the water until incorporated.
Drizzle the hot butter into the egg yolk mixture, covering the hole of the lid with a kitchen towel to avoid splattering. Blend on high until thickened, about 30-60 seconds.
Taste for seasoning and add more lemon juice or salt to taste.
The sauce is best when used immediately. If you have leftovers, the hollandaise will keep stored in the fridge up to 3 days. To reheat, warm slowly on low heat.

If you like a little more gusto to your hollandaise, add more lemon juice or the following ingredients if you’d like ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard, a dash or two of Tabasco, or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
