Citrus Hollandaise Sauce Recipes

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, vigorously stir egg yolks and lemon juice with wire whisk. Add 1/4 cup of the butter. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk, until butter is melted.
• Add remaining 1/4 cup butter. Continue stirring vigorously until butter is melted and sauce is thickened. (Be sure butter melts slowly so eggs have time to cook and thicken sauce without curdling.) If the sauce curdles (mixture begins to separate), add about 1 tablespoon boiling water and beat vigorously with wire whisk or hand beater until it's smooth.
• Serve immediately. Store covered in refrigerator. To serve refrigerated sauce, reheat over very low heat and stir in a small amount of water.

Remove pan from heat, and beat in 1 tablespoon cold butter. Repeat. Whisk in melted butter a little bit at a time. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Combine orange and lemon juices in a bowl. Whisk together egg yolks and 2 tablespoons water in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water until mixture foams and begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Add half of citrus juices and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Puree yolk mixture, remaining citrus juices, lemon zest, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cayenne in a blender until mixture thickens. With blender on low speed, add butter in a slow, steady stream until combined. Serve warm. Sauce can be stored in refrigerator in an airtight container up to 1 day. Gently warm before serving.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Vigorously whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a stainless steel bowl and until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler,) the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume. Remove from heat, whisk in cayenne and salt. Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use for the eggs benedict. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.
• Brown the bacon in a medium skillet and toast the English muffins, cut sides up, on a baking sheet under the broiler. Fill a 10-inch nonstick skillet half full of water. Add white vinegar to the cooking water. This will make the egg white cook faster so it does not spread. Bring to a slow boil. Gently break 1 of the eggs into the water taking care not to break it. Repeat with remaining eggs. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook 3 1/2 minutes until the egg white is set and yolk remains soft. Remove with a slotted spoon, allowing the egg to drain. To assemble: Lay a slice of Canadian bacon on top of each muffin half, followed by a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Garnish with chopped parsley.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Allow the butter to soften a little in the kitchen, it is also okay if it softens entirely.
• Choose a small skillet, 8-10 inches, it should not be of the nonstick variety, unless you have a plastic kitchen whip.
• Put the egg yolks into the pan with 1 tablespoon of the water, and some salt and pepper.
• Turn the heat to very low.
• Whisk the egg yolks until smooth, it is okay to beat them until they are light, like for a cake.
• Cook over very gentle heat, stirring all the time, until the egg yolks ever so slightly begin to thicken.
• It is a very good idea to put the pan on the heat, and off of the heat, whisking all the while, looking for subtle signs of cooking, as this method can happen very quickly.
• Once the egg yolks have been warmed, it is very likely that the residual heat from the pan will cook them enough to begin making the sauce.
• Add the lemon juice, alternately it can be added after incorporating the butter.
• Whisk in one piece of the butter, at a time, keep the pan off heat as much as possible, putting it back on the low flame intermittently, only to help the butter cubes dissolve.
• The operation of emulsifying the solids can be done fast or slow depending on your own experience and comfort level with this sort of process, because the butter is whole, and unmelted, it is nearly impossible to break the emulsion.
• Once some of the butter has been swirled in, several pieces should be able to be added at one time, with no adverse side effects.
• When the last of the butter has been added, stir in the rest of the water.
• Taste and correct for salt, butter sauces do not need a lot.
• Serve at once, or reheat, do not keep this hollandaise over a pan of hot water, for any length of time, it will break immediately. When reheating, do it slowly, adding a little more lemon juice, if desired, and drops of warm water to thin. Can be made earlier in the day and kept at room temperature, but do not chill, or make the day before.
