This easy blender hollandaise sauce delivers a creamy, velvety texture with simple ingredients and a foolproof method. Perfect for brunch or elevating your favorite dishes with rich buttery goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and warm
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • Pinch of white pepper (optional)
  • Tiny pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gently melt 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave in 20-second bursts. Keep it warm but not boiling (about 130°F/54°C).
  2. Separate 3 large eggs, keeping the yolks at room temperature.
  3. In the blender jar, combine the 3 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of white pepper and cayenne (if using). Blend on medium speed for about 10 seconds until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. With the blender running on medium-low speed, slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter through the lid’s opening in a thin, steady stream over 1-2 minutes to emulsify the sauce.
  5. Stop the blender and check the sauce. It should be thick, creamy, and pourable. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice if needed.
  6. Serve immediately over eggs benedict, steamed veggies, or your favorite dish. If the sauce thickens too much, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.

Notes

Use room temperature egg yolks and warm butter to prevent the sauce from breaking. Add melted butter slowly while blending to emulsify properly. If the sauce breaks, whisk in a cold ice cube or teaspoon of cold water off the heat and blend gently to restore. Serve fresh and warm; if thickened, whisk in warm water to loosen.
