Preparation

Combine eggs yolks, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a blender jug.

Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments until completely melted and hot to the touch. Alternatively: Melt the butter in a small saucepan until beginning to foam.

Cover the blender with a lid and blend the yolk mixture at high speed for 3 seconds.

With the blender still running, uncover, and slowly pour the hot melted butter in a thin stream.

The sauce will begin to thicken with half of the butter blended in.

Taste test and season with a little extra salt and pepper, if needed.
