HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
This sauce can be used in many dishes, including eggs benedict
and steamed vegetables.
Makes 1½ cups
Approximate preparation time: 15 minutes
Place butter in a saucepan over low heat to melt.
Insert the large chopping blade into the large 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 emulsied
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.
