Hollandaise Sauce
This sauce can be used in many dishes, including eggs benedict
and steamed vegetables..
¾pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter
3large egg yolks
1tablespoon
½teaspoon kosher salt
¼teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Makes 3 cups
Approximate preparation time: 15 minutes
Put the butter into a saucepan over low heat to melt.
Insert the large chopping blade into the medium work bowl of the Cuisinart® Food Processor. Add the yolks, mustard, salt and pepper and process for 90 seconds. Once the butter is melted, turn heat up to bring the butter just to a boil. With the machine running, very slowly drizzle ¼ of the hot butter through the feed tube drop by drop, being sure each drop is incorporated with the yolks before adding the next. This step should take about 5 minutes. Once the mixture is emulsified and homogenous, slowly add remaining butter until incorporated, about 1 minute. Sauce will thicken to a mayonnaise consistency. When all butter has been incorporated, add the lemon juice and pulse to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Serve while still warm.
