Like poached eggs (which, coincidentally, are often served with Hollandaise!), Hollandaise sauce has a reputation for being difficult and fussy. Itโ€™s the kind of thing people have at restaurants but never make at home because theyโ€™re sure it wonโ€™t turn out right.

But when you make it in a blender, Hollandaise sauce is pretty much fail-proof!

Easy Hollandaise Sauce Recipe

So yes, this sauce recipe isnโ€™t exactly traditionalโ€”but the traditional method requires a whole lot more effort, and itโ€™s also more likely to curdle and not turn out right. I donโ€™t know about you, but Iโ€™m not in the mood for that kind of stress when making eggs Benedict breakfastโ€”at least not before Iโ€™ve had coffee!

Even without using the classic method, this blender sauce is creamy, silky, and rich. In other words, itโ€™s everything you love about Hollandaise, without all the work. Iโ€™d say thatโ€™s a win!

How to Make Hollandaise Sauce in a Blender

  1. Start the Sauce: Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, and salt to a blender and blend until frothy.
  2. Add the Butter: With the blender running, slowly pour in the hot melted butter. Continue to blend until the sauce is thick and creamy.
  3. Serve: Pour the sauce into a small bowl. If youโ€™re not using it immediately, place a piece of plastic wrap on the surface, which keeps the sauce from forming a skin over the top.

Quick Tip

Adding the butter slowly is key. If you dump it all in at once, it can cause the sauce to separate.

How To Store Leftover Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise isnโ€™t well-suited for storing. If you do have leftovers, you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for a day or two, then warm it up in a double boiler.
