EASY, TANGY HOLLANDAISE SAUCE



Easy, Tangy Hollandaise Sauce image

Great and easy hollandaise sauce. I like my hollandaise sauce tangy and with a kick so I add extra lemon juice and cayenne pepper to my liking. It serves 2 to 4 depending on what you put it on. I use it on eggs Benedict. It's the best I have had - not bland like some hollandaise sauces!

No double-boiler, no blender, and va-va-voom flavor! This extra-lemony hollandaise is fantastic over asparagus or eggs Benedict, and a great complement to salmon or other fish. Gutsy enough to stand up to red meats for a variation on steak Oscar, too!

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE



Hollandaise Sauce image

One of the "mother" sauces in classic French cuisine, this fundamental is perhaps best known in the United States as a decadent topping to eggs benedict. While this is indeed a wonderful way to use hollandaise, this creamy, rich, lemon-tinged sauce has so many other uses! And because hollandaise sauce is so easy to make-containing only butter, eggs and lemon-it's worth committing to memory.

Time 15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup firm butter

Steps:

  • In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, vigorously stir egg yolks and lemon juice with wire whisk. Add 1/4 cup of the butter. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk, until butter is melted.
  • Add remaining 1/4 cup butter. Continue stirring vigorously until butter is melted and sauce is thickened. (Be sure butter melts slowly so eggs have time to cook and thicken sauce without curdling.) If the sauce curdles (mixture begins to separate), add about 1 tablespoon boiling water and beat vigorously with wire whisk or hand beater until it's smooth.
  • Serve immediately. Store covered in refrigerator. To serve refrigerated sauce, reheat over very low heat and stir in a small amount of water.
