Hollandaise sauce is a classic creamy sauce that's perfect for brunch and comes together with 5 simple ingredients. It's easy and foolproof in a blender! Watch the video above to see how I make it.

Ingredients

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or more as desired for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter or ghee (or more for a thinner consistency, melted and hot)

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a microwave (make sure it's covered as it will splatter) for about 1 minute, until it's hot. Alternatively, you could heat it on the stove.

  2. 2

    Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, dijon, salt and cayenne pepper into a high powered blender and blend for 5 seconds until combined.

  3. 3

    With the blender running on medium high, slowly stream in the hot butter into the mixture until it's emulsified.

  4. 4

    Pour the hollandaise sauce into a small bowl and serve while warm.
