  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make hollandaise sauce at home? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. The higher quality the melted butter, the tastier the sauce will be in the end. It’s better, of course, to do it yourself in advance.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Crush the white pepper with a knife, place in a saucepan, pour in white wine vinegar and water. Place the saucepan on the stove and reduce the mixture by a third. You should end up with 1 tablespoon of liquid. Strain the resulting mixture and let it cool.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Whisk the raw egg yolks into a bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture into the bowl with the yolks, stir with a whisk until smooth.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    Place the bowl with the yolks in a water bath. Brew the yolks over low heat, constantly stirring the mixture with a whisk. After 10 minutes you should have a thick sauce. It is important not to overheat the yolks so that they do not curdle - watch this!

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    Remove the egg sauce from the water bath and, whisking constantly, pour in the heated melted butter. First add the oil drop by drop, and then pour in a thin stream. At the very end, season the Hollandaise sauce with lemon juice and salt. Taste it and if you think something is missing, report back.

Thanks for the interesting recipe. Often, the right sauce allows dishes to reveal a new side, making them even tastier. A universal sweet-savory sauce based on honey, mustard and olive oil is suitable for meat, poultry, fish, as well as fresh vegetable salads. I offer HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE
