Quick Blender Hollandaise from Leite's Culinaria

This Keda Black recipe I found on the food blog Leite's Culinaria

Keda's cookbook can be found here - Sauce Basics: 87 Recipes Illustrated Step by Step

The longer I observe myself and others both in and out of the kitchen, the more I realize we often make things harder on ourselves than need be. Take Hollandaise sauce. True, the classic is lovely. But then, so is this five-minute, five-ingredient blender rendition from French blogger, food writer, and mother of three, Keda Black. Suffice it to say it’s far less exacting, time-consuming, and messy than the classic, yet compromises nothing in taste, texture, or bragging rights. Enough said.—Renee Schettler Rossi
