Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce

I had a hankering for eggs benedict this morning, but as usual, was short on time. I didn't want to make a bunch of hollandaise sauce that wasn't going to hold up, but I knew the craving wasn't going to go away until I indulged it. Since sheer laziness prevents me from wanting to whisk egg yolks first thing in the morning, I thought I'd try making an small portion of hollandaise in my personal blender. It's not as powerful as a regular blender, so I wasn't too worried about it frothing up my sauce too much. Turns out, you can make a pretty easy (and tasty) hollandaise in your Magic Bullet in less than 4 minutes.

Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce
Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:
2 egg yolks
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup unsalted butter
pinch cayenne
pinch salt
(optional, not typical, I just like it) pinch freshly cracked pepper

Preparation:
1) Place egg yolks and lemon juice in blender cup and blend until thick
2) Heat butter in a cup on high until thoroughly melted
3) Gently add 1/2 tsp of melted butter to egg yolks and blend for 5 seconds; continue adding 1/2 tsp of melted butter until egg yolks are fully tempered (careful not to add too much melted butter and accidentally scramble your egg yolks)
4) Once egg yolks are fully tempered, you can add remaining melted butter, cayenne and salt, etc. and blend until thorough mixed
5) Your hollandaise sauce should be the same consistency as stovetop hollandaise; serve it up however you like!
