- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter melted and foamy
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 large egg yolks whisked lightly
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground bay leaf powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed chili flakes
- 2 1/2 teaspoons celery seasoning
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper powder
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Step 2: Create a Double Boiler
Step 3: Whisk the Egg Yolks
Step 4: Add the Acid and Whisk
Step 5: Slowly Add the Butter
Step 6: Incorporate the Spices
With the sauce now thick and creamy, introduce the spices. Add all the exquisite flavors—the smoked paprika, bay leaf powder, and others. Mix well. Taste and adjust as needed, adding salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Step 7: Serve Immediately
Once you’ve reached your desired flavor profile, your hollandaise is ready! Serve it hot over your choice of eggs benedict, vegetables, or anything else that needs a touch of luxury.
- Temperature Control: Ensure the heat is gentle. Overheating can lead to scrambled eggs instead of a velvety sauce.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh lemon juice. It brightens the sauce far more than bottled options.
- Whisking Technique: The faster you whisk, the better the sauce will emulsify. It’s like a mini workout!
- Preventing Separation: If your sauce thickens too much, you can whisk in a bit of warm water to bring it back together.
- Keep it Warm: If you need to wait before serving, keep your hollandaise in a warm spot on the stovetop. Avoid letting it cool down completely to retain the perfect texture.
