How To Make Hollandaise Sauce In A Blender
In my opinion, this is the easiest hollandaise sauce recipe because the blender makes it pretty much foolproof:
- Melt butter. Cut butter into chunks and place into glass measuring cup. Microwave until just melted.
- Blend egg yolks and lemon juice. Blend egg yolks and lemon juice at high speed for 10 seconds.
- Emulsify. While blender is running, pour in melted butter in a thin stream. (I didn’t get a shot during the pouring process, but it will look thick and a little bubbly right afterward, as shown below.)
- Season. Season blender hollandaise sauce with sea salt to taste.
Troubleshooting Homemade Hollandaise

If your blender hollandaise sauce is too thin, you can add more melted butter while blending until it reaches the desired consistency.

Hollandaise can split if it gets too hot or too cold:
- If it splits after heating, sometimes adding some cold water can help.

How To Store And Reheat Hollandaise Sauce
Can you store hollandaise sauce?
Hollandaise is really best fresh, and most recommendations are to throw it out after an hour, as it’s made with raw egg yolks.
If you want to save it for later, it’s best to use clarified butter (ghee) instead of regular butter. This will help with separation.
That being said, I’ve successfully been able to store hollandaise in the fridge for a couple of days, and then let it sit on the counter to come to room temperature before serving.
Will hollandaise sauce freeze?
Yes, you can freeze hollandaise sauce for a month. Thaw at room temperature. If it separates during freezing and thawing, you can blend until emulsified again.
