Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce

Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce is a super rich and creamy sauce that goes perfectly with eggs, meats and definitely roasted asparagus.

What Is Hollandaise Sauce?

Hollandaise Sauce is one of the five French “mother sauces”. It’s a creamy yellow sauce made of melted butter, egg yolks and lemon juice. This delightfully rich sauce is typically served over fish, roasted vegetables and poached eggs Benedict.

This creamy sauce will elevate your brunch to another level, and here’s the best news… it’s crazy simple to make!

Ingredients In Hollandaise Sauce:

Here’s the basic (and very short list) of ingredients you’ll need in order to make this sauce at home. As always, you can find the full printable recipe in the recipe card below.

• Egg Yolks – just the yolks, no whites needed
• Lemon Juice – you can use white vinegar as a substitute
• Melted Butter – I prefer to use salted butter
• Cayenne Pepper – optional, but adds a great flavor

How To Make Hollandaise Sauce In Blender

If you’ve shied away from making this creamy sauce in the past because you thought it would be too difficult, I beg you to take a second look.

Hollandaise sauce made in the blender is ready in one minute, and it couldn’t be easier to make!

EGG YOLKS ONLY    Simply start with egg yolks, lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper in the blender. Give them a few whirls to blend the egg yolks and get some air into them. You’re looking for the egg yolks to turn a pale yellow color.

MELTED BUTTER     Slowly add in melted butter, while the blender is on low, and the sauce will thicken slightly.

Voila! You’re done!

What To Serve With Hollandaise Sauce?

This rich and creamy sauce has just a hint of heat from the cayenne and is absolutely perfect when drizzled over some roasted asparagus! Here are some more great ideas for using Hollandaise Sauce…

• Baked Salmon
• Poached Eggs and Ham
• Steamed or Roasted Broccoli
• Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
• Crab Cakes
• Bacon Cheddar Quiche

Can You Make Ahead of Time?

Once you make your Hollandaise Sauce you’ll want to use it fresh, within the hour. You can prepare the sauce ahead of time, but it does take a little bit longer to reheat than it would to just make it fresh.

Hollandaise Sauce is best when served fresh, but can last in the fridge for up to 2 days.

How To Reheat Hollandaise Sauce:

In order to not “break” the sauce, you’ll need to reheat it slowly and gently.

MICROWAVE:  heat at 20% power in 15 second increments, stirring in between until the sauce is heated through

STOVE TOP: bring a pot of water to a boil and add the sauce to a glass bowl that fits on top of the pot, without touching the water. This is a double-boiler method. Whisk the sauce gently until it is heated through.

You’re going to feel like a true chef with this simple recipe and everyone will be super impressed!
