This is a Hollandaise sauce that is fast and easy. Anyone with a blender can make this sauce! No-one can get this wrong. I am sure the purists will swoon in horror. It is not a high brow sauce, but it is perfectly adequate for every day eating. And tasty. 
No need to stand stirring a pot and adding ingredients by the dribble. No need to stand in the kitchen weeping over a yellow curdled mess. You can even pause half way through if you are waiting for the lost ones to find the dinner table.
You need a lemon, eggs, butter and a little salt. That is all. This is so simple I have not even looked up the recipe is years. My favourite recipes are the ones I do not have to write down! 
Place 3 or 4 egg yolks (I use 4) , the juice of half a lemon and a big pinch of salt in the blender. Blend until fluffy. (This is where I pausesometimes) Then slowly dribble in 5oz of very hot unsalted melted butter while the blender is running. Once combined very well, pour over very hot asparagus. Once you have added the melted butter and whirled it up, pour immediately over the asparagus and serve.
Basically this recipe has three ingredients so ensure that you use the freshest and best of ingredients. And make sure your eggs are very fresh and from a trusted source. I am incredibly lucky to have my own eggs and to be able to make the butter so this is a lovely sauce that we eat the whole asparagus season.

Good morning. Now I must zoom as I need to have Mary’s cat at the vet by 7.30 for the procedure that Boy Cats need to have.
Oh and Kupa is making friends. The barn chickens, who spent the first two days sitting on a barn gate staring at the peacock, while he stared back, have found a hole in his gate big enough for the small ones to squeeze through and they have been sharing his food. And hopefully saying thank you!
So after the weekend, when his quarantine is over, all the barn doors will be closed and his little enclosure gate will be left open and he can choose to come out and explore the barn. After a week or so of that, I shall leave the South doors open so he can come out into the garden when he wants to! Now that will be wonderful.
Though I think he will be slow in coming out as he is such a calm quiet bird. He seems to be content on his perch watching us go by. Bobbing up and down and peering short sightedly.
Good morning. Have a great day.

That does look quite easy…I must admit I have never tried Hollandaise for fear of it being a huge disaster! I am going to remember this and try it out one day. Have a good weekend 🙂
It is sure to succeed. Morning!! c
I have been making this sauce for a few years now and not only is it dead easy to make, delicious it is, too!
Thank you for the back-up Barbara and welcome to the farmy! . I would love people to try it! c
Celi, I reckon you should have large prints of these shots done on canvas and hung on your kitchen walls – exquisite! Gotta love a good Hollandaise and I am thrilled to hear that our boy Kupa is settling in nicely.
Good Morning – have an awesome day.
🙂 Mandy
Morning Mandy, I do like the first one.. it came in nice and sharp.. c
Sounds delicious although I don’t posess a blender. Hey-ho! My personal favourie with asparagus is a poached duck egg! I don’t know about Kupa, maybe he is calm – or maybe he’s making plans to lead you a merry dance!!!

Morning Christine, he does have a bright twinkle in his eye, maybe he is lullng me into a false sense of security! c
YUM! 😀
indeed! morning chris! c
Sounds,simply sumptuous.
Decadent but GOOD! Morning Jess. c
Fantastic recipe – I will be using this in the next day or so! Good luck to Mary´s Cat – it has to be done but he´ll be feeling a bit sorry for himself for a day or two 😦
AND he turned up this morning holding up his paw saying “I can’t possibly go anywhere I have a sore foot! I need to have a day on the dogs day bed!” .. wrong.. c
He probably sensed what was coming!
Or saw the cat box was out! !
MMMMmmm… that looks so good! I think I can even make it with dairy free butter. Funny thing, I had forgotten all about Hollandaise sauce! When you can’t eat dairy you just get used to not having certain sauces, I guess.
We’ll be having this with asparagus and salmon tomorrow night. Thanks Cecelia!
~ Have a wonderful day ~ April
Excellent april, i knew it was gluten free .. but the dairy thing is so much harder with this sauce, let me know who it works out! c
Good morning, Celi. I shall mention this to my Mom, who will be eating this week’s asparagus. She used to make something she called “mock Hollandaise,” but I don’t know how she did it.
Oo I would like to know too.. let us know when you find out!! I am always looking for short cuts! c
Thank you for this recipe.. I’ve been (shhh, using the package) looking for a reliable one and I love that there’s no recipe! I love little Kupa on your facebook page, btw, and very cute that the chickens are trying to hang out and welcome him.. her??
Him, the Her will come soon.. and it is a very simple recipe.. anything but the package Smidge!! I won’t tell!! c
This looks so good! We just picked the first if our asparagus, and now I know what I’ll do with the next lot! We pick ours by the handful, not the armload though. I might just have to plant more; your photos are giving me asparagus greed!
I grew all mine from seed, they are so easy to grow! Morning Siobhan! c

I like the top shot too, it was lovely light yesterday.. we eat it every day all season, next I want to make a cream of asparagus soup! c
I was going to make an asparagus soup this weekend too!
now that is an easy recipe, I’m loving it. But I’m loving your right proper asparagus steamer thingy – right smart!
It is SO useful that steamer and has a tall slim pot to match.. so much easier! morning claire c
