I admit it... I am addicted to hollandaise sauce. In fact my husband blames this addiction for all the gall bladder issues I had while pregnant with Pickle. Okay, so I did eat at least one fried egg a day SMOTHERED in the stuff during my last trimester- it was high in protein!.
But I no longer have a gall bladder, so we should be okay, right? :)
So today I was watching food network (LOVE it), and they were talking about how hollandaise sauce is just egg yolks, butter, and lemon juice. WAIT.....what?!? Pretty sure those powdered sauce mixes I buy at the store (yes I admit it) contain way more than that.
So I went online and browsed some recipes and decided I NEEDED to make some hollandaise sauce. I had 6 egg yolks left over from making cupcakes, so even though most recipes called for 3 or 4, I used 6.
Here was my recipe:
6 egg yolks
juice from one large lemon (I didn't measure it- sorry!)
dash of smoked paprika
dash of coarse sea salt
dash of pepper
1 cup butter
In a blender combine egg yolks, lemon juice and seasonings and blend on high until frothy. (about a minute)
Melt butter and pour into blender slowly while mixing. (Drizzle in through the hole in the lid.... DO NOT remove complete lid while blending on high- it won't be pretty!
Continue to blend until butter is fully incorporated!
It's just that easy! And delicious! And so unhealthy.... but delicious!
