Using your blender makes hollandaise so simple and fast you might begin considering it an “ordinary” sauce instead of a special-occasion sauce. Chris Prosperi, senior contributor to The Faith Middleton Food Schmooze®, prefers the blender to a food processor because it emulsifies the sauce almost immediately and the fast-moving rotor blades help keep the yolks from scrambling. This recipe is courtesy of Chris.
