Hollandaise Sauce- Easy blender recipe
Smoked Salmon Benedict

Blender Hollandaise
Ingredients:
12 Large Egg Yolks
11 ounces clarified butter
Juice of 1 lemon
1.5 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
To make clarified butter, simply place butter over low heat and allow to melt. Do not stir. A white foam will begin to form on top. Skim this off. Remove butter from the heat and let sit for a few minutes. Only use the clear golden melted butter, do not skim the bottom.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in the blender and save the whites for another application. Add Tabasco, Worcestershire, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add butter and blend until smooth.
