How To: Hollandaise Sauce Easy Recipe

Today we're going to show you how to make hollandaise sauce, and it's a great

rich delicious sauce that goes great with fish and vegetables. And it's the

primary ingredients for things like Eggs Benedict.

So we're gonna use a double boiler and we're starting to put some water to boil

it on the stove and then we take an egg and we separate the yolk from the egg

white we're going to use the egg white later so we'll keep it separate we

squeeze a little bit of lemon like about a sixth to a quarter of lemon onto the

eggs we give it a little shake of salt and then we just stir it all together to

mix in lemon and the salt and you want to make sure of course to use

good-quality pastured free-range eggs and some good quality butter organic

grass-fed butter so we use about half of a stick and then once the water is

boiling we hold the mixture on over the water so that the steam from the water

heats it and then we just stir and we melt the butter and we make sure we were

careful not to get it too warm and you can tell it should thicken pretty

quickly but it shouldn't stick to the bowl or coagulate so once it does that

you take it out then you add about two tablespoons of warm water and that makes

it a little bit thinner so you dilute it you don't have to do that step but it

makes it a little bit more sauce you increase the volume a little bit and

it's not quite so rich so then you put it back on the heat and you stir it

again until it starts thickening and now it is all done. Bon Appetit!
