This fool proof, 10 minute, Blender Hollandaise Sauce Made 3 Ways results in a perfect sauce every time! With 3 different variations, this smooth and creamy sauce is the perfect topping your favorite brunch dishes, fish, or even vegetables!
Every great dish has a great sauce. For steak it’s bernaise, horseradish, or chimichurri. For brisket and burnt ends, it’s bbq sauce. For pasta it’s cheese, tomato, or alfredo sauce. For brunch, my favorite meal of the week, it’s hollandaise!
What is Hollandaise Sauce
Hollandaise is basically an emulsion of egg yolks, lemon and butter. The traditional hollandaise sauce is made by blending egg yolks, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and salt in a double boiler and slowly whisking in melted butter. Unfortunately, hollandaise sauce made over a double boiler can easily break, which means the butter and eggs separate.
The Eggs
I know some are apprehensive about consuming raw eggs. I am blessed to be able to get farm fresh eggs. If that’s not an option for you, be sure to use good quality eggs for this recipe. If you’re getting your eggs for $1 a dozen, it’s probably not a good idea to use those for blender hollandaise sauce.
How to Make Blender Hollandaise Sauce
This blender method is slightly different, but results in a perfect sauce every time. For this method, in a food processor or blender add an egg yolk, the juice of 1 lemon, 3 splashes of hot sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp dijon mustard. With the blender on, slowly drizzle in 1 stick of melted butter and blend until the sauce emulsifies.
This basic hollandaise sauce is mostly known as a sauce poured over eggs benedict, but it is also really great over steamed white fish or vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, or asparagus.
How to make jalapeno hollandaise sauce
For jalapeno hollandaise, use the basic recipe and add about 8 pickled jalapenos, a splash of the jalapeno juice, and 1/4 cup of cilantro and blend until smooth.
This spicy jalapeno hollandaise is great poured over Mexican Eggs Benedict. This delicious brunch dish consists of a crunchy tortilla, topped with spicy chorizo, sunny side up eggs, and jalapeno hollandaise garnished with sour cream, cilantro, and cotija cheese!
How to make southern style hollandaise sauce
For a southern style of hollandaise sauce, roast a tomato and 2 cloves of garlic in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Add the roasted tomato, roasted garlic, and a splash of worcestershire sauce to the basic recipe and blend until smooth.
This sauce is great on my spin of a southern style breakfast. It starts with a base of crispy, golden hash browns cooked in a cast iron skillet, topped with a giant sausage patty and two fried eggs. Pour southern style hollandaise over the top for the perfect breakfast dish!
