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.

This sounds delicious, but absolutely looks amazing!!! The pictures are truly stunning. And Kupa sounds just wonderful. I can just picture him watching everything from his perch. 🙂

As always, exquisite photos. Thanks C.
All is well on Farmy today. After your great photos, I am off to the fridge to chow down some raw asparagus. Yummmmm! Wonder what the old codger will say about the peacock…
I am very fond of hollandaise and will def try your method as it sounds so wonderfully simple 🙂
Wow, is that home grown asparagus there? I crave an asparagus steamer…. one day, except I have no room to store any more cooking paraphernalia. I bought two asparagus crowns but now we don’t know where to plant them, we have to think harder each year, trying to squeeze our experiments in to our little garden. Have a lovely Easter weekend Celi xx
I just love hollandaise! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m not going to lie…that last pic of asparagus and sauce got me really excited.
I just purchased more asparagus, but I’ve always been weary on Hollandaise (raw egg and all). I’ll have to give yours a try!
[…] Cecilia at the Kitchen’s Garden posted this. She is a busy working woman with no time for all that whisking. Too many animals, […]
That sauce and asparagus look so yummy! My asparagus is just starting to poke its little heads out of the ground. Soon…. 🙂
I love asparagus, soon you will be picking! c
thanks for this recipe, C, my daughter has been looking for an easy recipe! she has been in tears over curdled sauce, as you say 🙂
So glad I found this ‘oldie but goodie’!! When my son’s were in high school I used to make them Eggs Benedict with a packaged Hollandaise Sauce for breakfast before they left for school. Wish I had know about this recipe then!! ; o ) And I know I’ll be making this delicious – and easy – sauce a lot in the future!!
