Instructions

Add yolks, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper to a blender. Set aside.
4 egg yolks, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Add the butter to a glass measuring cup and heat for 1 minute, just until it's completely melted and HOT.
10 tbsp unsalted butter
Add the lid to the blender to cover and blend on HIGH speed for 20 seconds.
Reduce the speed to LOW, keeping the blender on, and remove the vent cover in the lid. Slowly pour the melted butter into the running blender in a steady stream.
Return the vent cover back onto the blender and increase the speed to HIGH. Continue blending just until the sauce thickens.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If not ready to serve the sauce immediately, keep the sauce warm by placing the blender in a bowl of hot water until ready to use.
To prevent the sauce from breaking, make sure the butter is hot enough. The sauce needs to be between 130 and 145 F. Too low and the sauce won't come together and too hot and the egg yolks will scramble.
Adding the butter slowly also helps prevent the sauce from breaking. Start very slowly streaming the butter into the sauce mixture to give the mixture a chance to temper. And continue streaming the butter slowly and steadily rather than dumping it in all at once.
This is one of those recipes that you can't shortcut by adding everything to the blender at the same time. Doing that will not give you a smooth, silky sauce.
