FAQ's
Yes, this sauce is completely safe to eat. The very hot butter and the heat from the blender work together to heat the raw egg yolks to get rid of potential bacteria to reduce the risk of salmonella.
If you find that your hollandaise sauce is too thin, try stirring in a little more melted butter until it reaches the desired consistency. You can also add some additional heavy cream if needed.
If your hollandaise sauce tastes mostly like butter, you may have added too much butter to the recipe. Try adding a little more Dijon mustard and lemon juice to balance out the flavors.
No, hollandaise sauce is not like mayonnaise. While both sauces are emulsions, there are some key differences between them. Mayonnaise is much thicker and creamier than hollandaise, due to the addition of more oil and less liquid in the recipe. Hollandaise is also much richer and more buttery, with a slightly tangy flavor due to the addition of lemon juice.
Things to know
- This recipe yields about 1 cup of hollandaise sauce.
- Be sure to use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you find it's too thin when serving, just let it sit for a few minutes and it should thicken up nicely.
- Make sure to add the hot melted butter slowly in a steady stream yet a thin stream into the blender container with the lemon mixture, as this will ensure that the sauce has a smooth and creamy texture.
- I recommend that you use a large blender instead of an immersion blender or stick blender to make this hollandaise recipe. You can also use a food processor if you'd prefer.
Variations
- If you don't like the flavor of Dijon mustard, try using a milder type of mustard or adding more lemon juice.
- You can also add in some chopped herbs such as tarragon or parsley for an extra pop of flavor.
- For a spicier version, try adding in some hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to this classic sauce.
Storage
Refrigerate - You can store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure that you allow the easy blender hollandaise sauce to come to room temperature before you place it in the fridge.
Freezer - Make sure that the Hollandaise sauce has cooled down completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container or bag. You should also avoid adding lemon juice to the sauce if you plan on freezing it – since lemon juice can cause separation when frozen and thawed. Once the sauce is frozen, it’s good for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to use the sauce again, simply defrost it in the fridge overnight and then reheat it as needed.
Reheat - To reheat, place the sauce in a small saucepan on the stove top over low heat and stir until it is warmed through. Do not let it boil or the sauce may break. You could also reheat in double boiler with hot water while whisk constantly to prevent a broken sauce.
