Ensure the butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the egg yolks. Whisking vigorously and frequently is key to achieving a smooth and emulsified sauce. Adjust the lemon juice and seasoning to your preference. For a richer flavor, substitute the milk with heavy cream. If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to thin it out. Hollandaise is best served immediately, as it can separate upon cooling.

Aug 19, 2024Mine separated a bit, but I think I microwaved it for too long. I'll try shorter intervals next time.
