First Steps for Making Hollandaise Sauce for Eggs Benedict
Hello! This is Chef Sean Roe on behalf of expertvillage.com. Our next step in the hollandaise sauce is over at the blender. We take our already separated yolks, we add them to the blender. We add a little lemon juice; lemon juice has acid, and acid will help maintain the emulsification process so we just want to put a little in there. Also, just a little salt, little fresh ground pepper. Traditionally, a hollandaise sauce is made over a steamed bath and it is a very lengthy process. Today I’m showing what we call in the industry the blender method, which actually is faster, more efficient, and will hold it’s emulsification longer than the classical method tends to. When we’re done with this we then go on to our next step, which is melting the butter.
