As Easy Good As Can Be Sinful Hollandaise Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place 3 eggs, 4-5 t (or less) lemon juice, 3 T water, in a smallish bowl, & whip with a fork, until thoroughly blended & pale yellow.
• In a nonstick pan, melt (over low heat), butter.
• Add egg mixture SLOWLY, stirring CONTINUOUSLY until sauce has thickened, immediately remove from heat, and keep stirring for a minute or so. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Before serving, add 1/2 t salt & fresh ground nutmeg, taste and add more lemon if desired.
• I sometimes add a little more lemon juice because I like mine very lemony, but I notice in many of the comments on other recipes, that people complain if it's too lemony, so taste as you go, as you can't take it away once you've added it. (notice the recipe says teaspoons not tablespoons).
• And that is it!
• It's really that simple, now go enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat butter in a microwave-safe measuring cup in the microwave until melted, about 30 seconds.
• Whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, milk, salt, and black pepper together in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk melted butter, a bit at a time, into egg yolk mixture until sauce is smooth.
• Cook sauce in the microwave on medium, whisking at 15-second intervals, until sauce is hot and thick, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Put the butter inside a heatproof bowl or glass measuring cup and set it in a basin of simmering water. Let it heat until the butter is melted.
• Carefully spoon off the white residue on top of the clear yellow liquid in the center. Carefully pour off and reserve the yellow liquid. Discard the milky bottom portion.
• Combine the egg yolks and water, beating rapidly with a wire whisk. Place the saucepan in a larger basin of simmering water, beating constantly. Gradually add the clear yellow liquid, beating constantly while heating the mixture in the simmering water. Do not overheat. Beat and heat until the sauce has the consistency of a thin mayonnaise.
• Add the salt, cayenne pepper and lemon juice and blend thoroughly.

Steps:

• Bring water in the bottom a double boiler to a simmer: hot water in double boiler base should not touch pan above. In the top of the double boiler, slightly beat egg yolks. Slowly whisk in butter, and then gradually whisk in water. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Remove double boiler top from base.
• Gradually whisk in lemon juice, and season with salt and cayenne. Cover, and keep hot over warm water until serving.

Steps:

• Cut the butter into several pieces and bring to room temperature.
• In the top of a double boiler, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Add a piece of butter.
• Cook, stirring steadily with a wooden spoon or wire whisk, over, but not touching, boiling water.
• When butter melts and sauce begins to thicken, add remaining butter, stirring constantly until melted.
• Continue cooking as sauce thickens, about 2 more minutes.
• Immediately remove from heat.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan and skim any white solids from the surface. Keep the butter warm.
• Put the egg yolks, white wine or tarragon vinegar, a pinch of salt and a splash of ice-cold water in a metal or glass bowl that will fit over a small pan. Whisk for a few minutes, then put the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and whisk continuously until pale and thick, about 3-5 mins.
• Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the melted butter bit by bit until it's all incorporated and you have a creamy hollandaise. (If it gets too thick, add a splash of water.) Season with a squeeze of lemon juice and a little cayenne pepper. Keep warm until needed.
• To make eggs benedict, toast the muffin halves, top each half with a slice of warmed ham and a poached egg, and spoon over a generous helping of hollandaise.

Steps:

• Use a small, thick ceramic bowl set in a heavy-bottomed pan, or a heavyweight double boiler. Off the heat, put the egg yolks and cream in the bowl or upper section of the double boiler and stir with a wire whisk until well-blended - the mixture should never be beaten but stirred, evenly, vigorously and continually. Place the container over hot water (if you are setting the bowl in water, there should be about 1 1/2 inches of water in the pan; in a double boiler, the water should not touch the top section). Stirring eggs continuously, bring the water slowly to a simmer. Do not let it boil. Stir, incorporating the entire mixture so there is no film at the bottom. When the eggs have thickened to consistency of very heavy cream, begin to add the cooled melted butter with one hand, stirring vigorously with the other. Pour extremely slowly so that each addition is blended into the egg mixture before more is added. When all the butter has been added, add the lemon juice or vinegar a drop at a time and immediately remove from heat. Add salt and a mere dash of cayenne.
