Hollandaise Sauce for Dipping

Who doesn't love Hollandaise Sauce? It goes so well with so many types of food, but when you use it with a delicious beef fondue like Fondue Bourguignonne, you won't believe how good it really tastes. And this recipe is super easy to make.

What you'll need:- 3 egg yolks (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 3/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1 Tbsp hot water
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- 1 Tsp prepared mustard

Combine the egg yolks and lemon juice in your blender or food processor. Melt the butter and heat it until it bubbles but not browns. Add hot water to the egg yolk and lemon juice.

Turn on blender to high speed and immediately pour in hot butter in a steady stream. Add the salt, cayenne, and mustard to the blender. Blend mixture until well blended for about 30 seconds.

This recipe of Hollandaise sauce is served warm over vegetables and poached eggs, but of course, it's also great with meat fondue. This version will not curdle because it is only heated by the warmth of the butter. Any leftover sauce can be reheated gently in the top of a double boiler - but over hot water, not boiling.

Make about 2 cups of yummy sauce.
