Easy Hollandaise Sauce

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• pinch cayenne pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Melt ½ cup unsalted butter in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. You can also do it in a small saucepan if you prefer.

2. 2

   Separate 3 large egg yolks and add them to a container like a Mason jar. You want the head of the immersion blender to fit in the container.

3. 3

   Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, and a pinch cayenne pepper. Position the immersion blender in the container.

4. 4

   Slowly stream in the melted butter while constantly blending. Make sure to gently move the blender around to ensure even blending. This should take around 30 seconds to 1 minute.
