Hollandaise
This creamy, classic sauce is so easy to make, it may just become a weekly brunch addition.
Ingredients
- 6 large pasteurized egg yolks
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt, optional
- 2-3 dashes of your favorite hot sauce
- 1½ cup (360 ml) melted butter, warm
Directions
- Place yolks, lemon juice, salt, and hot sauce (plus any optional add-in ingredient you want) into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Select the lowest setting. Start the machine, slowly increase to Variable 8, and run for 30 seconds.
- While the machine is still running, remove the lid plug and slowly pour warm butter through the opening. As the mixture begins to thicken, the butter may be added at a faster rate. Finish pouring the butter and after blending for another 30 seconds, replace the lid plug. Increase speed to Variable 10 and run for 3 to 5 seconds.
Notes
When adding the ingredients into the container make sure the initial ingredients just cover the blades to ensure a proper emulsification, if there is not enough add another egg yolk to the base.

So Easy!
This is such an easy way to make a sauce that is somewhat challenging by hand. The one star reviews are ridiculous, any time you change a recipe it's unfair to give it a bad review. Vitamix are especially sensitive to minimum quantities. I used the 64 oz compact jar and followed the recipe and my sauce came out very nicely. I thought it was little too o thick and thinned it with water which had no negative effects. I used bottled lemon juice and would recommend using fresh lemon, I think there would be a noticeable difference.
I would make this again. It was so fast and easy and tastes way better than a powdered sauce base.

Perfection!
This was simple and delicious. I followed the directions and it came out beautifully. Only thing I changed was speed, when I got it past 4 drizzling in the butter it started shooting out the top so I just kept it at 4 and it didn't change a thing. I even had left overs that I used for dipping artichokes the next day and it reheated in the microwave on low for 25 seconds without breaking. I will definitely be making this again! I LOVE my Vitamix, even made whole wheat flour from berries this week in less than 2 minutes! Thank you Vitamix for such a superior product :0)

Wonderful And Easy!
This is such a quick and simple way to make hollandaise! It turns out so delicious every time. I do add just a bit more lemon juice, which suits my taste. If the consistency is a little thick, I just add a little water to thin it a tad. This is just another way Vitamix streamlines something that used to be complex, into a very simple task.

Perfect first time and scrumptious!
This was only the third recipe I made in my Vitamix and the first in my Aer Disc Container. Perfection!! (My daughter confessed afterwords that she had tried making Hollandaise sauce many times on her own and wasted many, many eggs and even more butter!) This sauce is SO delicious (albeit unhealthy). Served it over an toasted open-faced egg & bacon sandwich and was incredible. Will be heading out soon to buy steaks and asparagus to use the rest of it! Yum!!

Definitely does not work for half batches
I just received this Vitamix this week so I thought I'd try the hollandaise recipe which I normally make by hand. Says there's only two of us I did not need the large recipe so I cut it in half. Really really bad idea. Apparently 3 egg yolks is not enough to actually do anything with the aerator and therefore when I added the warm butter gradually it was just a runny mess. I am going to stick we're doing this by hand because it makes a luxurious and rich sauce. From now on I'm just going to assume that the recipes for this machine cannot be made in smaller batches than the actual recipe ingredient requirement.

Easiest and best ever
Not exaggerating when I say this was the best hollandaise sauce I have ever had. And the easiest. I have been intimidated by my Aer container and finally cracked it open. I can’t wait to use it more!!

So simple & easy!
I love this classic recipe, and it's so much easier to make than the traditional way of mixing incessantly!! Also, it's even perfect without the hot sauce. Delicious!
