Ingredients

½cup (¼ pound, 1 stick) unsalted butter
4large egg yolks
¼teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch ground mustard
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1½tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

1.Put the butter into a saucepan set over low heat until butter is melted and reaches a slight simmer.
2.While the butter is melting, put the remaining ingredients into the blender jar. About a minute before adding the butter, run the unit on Low for about 30 seconds to combine.
3.With the blender still running on Low, carefully remove the pour lid from the cover. Very slowly drizzle the hot butter through the opening while using the measuring cup or dishtowel to shieldthe opening to prevent any splatter. When adding the butter, be careful not to add the white milksolids that will be left on the bottom of the pan. Once all butter has been added, checkhollandaise for consistency. Use a long, skinny spatula to stir as some yolk may haveaccumulated in the well by the blade. If overall consistency is too thick, blend in some hot water,1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
4.Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
5.Serve immediately or transfer hollandaise to a double boiler to keep warm for serving.

Using a hand blender makes this tricky-to-make sauce a no-fuss recipe that you will want to put on top of more than just poached eggs.

Cherry-Ginger Smoothie - 1 cup

Coconut milk beverage, normally found in a carton, is much lighter than traditional coconut milk. Substitute 2/3 cup of the canned version for a creamier, richer smoothie.
