“My first Eggs Benedict was at DeVere’s Irish Pub in Davis and it was served with a Sriracha Hollandaise Sauce. I was skeptical at first, because I’m not a fan of really spicy food, but it was fantastic, not super spicy, with just that extra bit of flavor.” – April Ferre
Hollandaise Sauce
Ingredients
- 3 Egg Yolks
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- Pinch Cayenne Pepper
- 8 to 10 Tablespoons Butter Melted & Hot
- 1 to 3 Teaspoons Sriracha Optional, To Taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a microwave until it is hot.
- Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne pepper into a high powered blender and blend for 5 seconds until combined.
- With the blender running on medium high, slowly stream in the hot butter into the mixture until it's emulsified and of desired consistency.
- Pour the Hollandaise sauce into a small bowl and serve while warm.
Variation:
- Sriracha Hollandaise: Blend in Sriracha to taste.
Notes
Reheating Hollandaise Sauce: Yes, Hollandaise can be reheated, but very carefully or it will split! Microwave at 20% power for 20 seconds at a time until sauce just begins to soften. Then reheat at 10 second intervals, stirring in between until sauce is of desired consistency.
