Easiest Hollandaise Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Put all ingredients but the butter in a blender

2. 2

   In a microwave safe dish, melt the butter to bubbling

3. 3

   Immediately start the blender and begin to add the butter in a very thin stream through the hole for the little removable insert

4. 4

   Use your hand to cover all but the half inch square between your thumb and forefinger that you're pouring through

5. 5

   Have patience with this because the more slowly you add it, the better it will emulsify

6. 6

   It may take a full minute or two, but it's better than madly whisking it in over a double boiler hoping all the while that it emulsifies at all

7. 7

   Three notes: Don't add salt, the butter will add plenty!

8. 8

   Fresh lemon juice makes a world of difference

9. 9

   You can play with adding a few drops of water to get a thinner consistency if you desire
