Ingredients
Hollandaise Sauce
- 3 eggs yolks
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp sweet paprika not smoked
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) ghee aka clarified butter, hot
Instructions
Hollandaise Sauce
- To make your clarified butter/ghee, see my recipe here! It’s really easy to make!
- Add the egg yolks, lemon juice/vinegar, mustard and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. In a slow and steady stream, pour the clarified butter while whisking. Take care not to add it too quickly or your eggs won’t emulsify properly. Slow and steady is the key word here! To thin out the sauce, whisk in 1 tbsp of warm water at a time until you get the consistency you like!
- This sauce can be served with pretty much anything! Chicken, pork, poached eggs on muffins or even used as a dipping sauce! It makes a great breakfast extra indulgent.
Notes
Storage - Sauce is best used the day it’s made but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave for 10 second burst, whisking each time or on the stove with a little extra butter on a really low gentle heat to prevent it from splitting.
Nutrition - is based on per cup. This recipe makes 1 cup which serves about 4 people. Recipe can be doubled.
Save the egg whites! - Egg whites can be used for other recipes. Meringues and pavlova come to mind.
A note on measurements - all ingredients in this recipe are offered in Australian cup measurements and weight measurements. Weight measurements are created by me, in my kitchen here in Melbourne Australia. The best way to get recipe success is to measure ingredients by weight, using kitchen scales.
