The other day, my husband and I, were alone for dinner.  A rare occasion.  I had some left over pastrami and decided to turn it into some hash.  I have to admit I make a pretty mean hash.  I wanted to top it with some sauteed spinach and a poached egg.  As the eggs were poaching I realized I really needed to finish the dish off with a drizzle of hollandaise. Oh my gosh!  I haven’t made hollandaise sauce for a gazillion years and I needed to make it quick!  My brain went back 20+ years to a recipe
I used to make in a blender.

I had that stuff whipped up in 5 minutes flat.  Seriously.

The hollandaise sauce turned my leftovers into quite a beautiful dish.  I even topped it with a few spring chives from my garden.

This sauce turns out so creamy and thick.  It almost has the consistency of mayonnaise.

 

For this simply hollandaise you will need:
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter
pinch of sea salt
pinch cayenne pepper

 

Add three egg yolks into a blender.

Turn the blend on and off quickly just to blend the yolks.

Add the lemon juice.

Once again, quickly turn the blender on and off again just to blend lemon juice and egg yolk.

Add a pinch of sea salt.

and a healthy pinch of cayenne pepper.

Melt 1/2 cup butter over low heat.

Heat until the butter begins to bubble.  Make sure the butter does not brown. Remove from heat.

Turn the blender on and immediately pour in the hot butter in a slow steady stream.

Don’t add the butter too fast or it will cook the egg yolks.

Blend until the sauce thickens.

Perfect, smooth hollandaise sauce in 5 minutes.

Serve immediately.

Tip:  Don’t reheat the sauce in the microwave.  The high heat will melt the butter and will ruin your beautiful creamy sauce.

 

I’m thinking I need to top off my fresh spring asparagus with a dollop of hollandaise this easter.

This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen flavored bread. The sweet dough is filled with dried fruit, candied orange and lemon peel, and almonds. 

The dough is wrapped around a ribbon of marzipan filling. Bake until golden then dust heavily with powder sugar. 

I like to toast a thick slice then scoop out the warm marzipan and spread it all over my toasted Stollen 🤤

Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and do Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and double baking is the secret to these crunchy Italian cookies. Their hard texture makes them perfect for dipping into your hot drink. 

Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti are my favorite and I add them to my Christmas cookie list because they make such a cute gift, but most of all I love dipping them in my cocoa.
