Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- Juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper* + more to taste
- ¼ - ½ cup hot water (from the tap is fine)
Instructions
- Place avocado, lemon juice, cayenne, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper, and ¼ cup water into the pitcher of your blender. Puree until smooth, drizzling in additional water as need to create a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- And serve. It's that simple!
- If you want a warmer avocado hollandaise, you can place it in a small pan over low heat, stirring frequently, until warm - about 5 minutes. Add a little more water if needed.
- Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat by repeating step 4 (you'll likely need to add a bit of water).
