You Don't Have To Whip
Blender Hollandaise Sauce Recipe
Recipe from Restaurant
The original Hollandaise Sauce Recipe requires a cook to use a wire
whip (or whisk) in a continual and vigorous manner. The method
can be a little time-consuming and sometimes discouraging.
I have placed this alternative method in my cookbook for you to try.
It uses a blender instead of a whisk (or whip).

Cooking Conversion Table
Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
One or two drops of Tabasco sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper (careful not to over do it)
1/4 butter, melted (it will need to be hot at the right time)
Instructions:
Place the egg yolks, salt, mustard, lemon juice and Tabasco (or cayenne) in your blender bowl
Heat the butter, get it hot but DO NOT BURN
Blend for 3 seconds, then (turn on the blender again) and while it is going, pour in the butter
(which should be hot). The hollandaise sauce will thicken immediately
That's all there is to it.
Serve your Hollandaise over vegetables, poached eggs, seafood or meats. It's great!
