Butter needs to be hot, not just melted. The recipe will not emulsify with lukewarm butter. Want more sauce? Just add another yolk and up to another ½ cup of melted butter.
If sauce breaks there are a couple options to fix. (1) Blend 1-2 tablespoons of boiling hot water: As you’re blending, slowly add in the hot water and blend until the consistency is right. (2) Add an extra egg yolk: While the blender is on, add an extra egg yolk with a teaspoon of hot water into the blender and blend until it becomes perfectly creamy.
Reheating is simple too. In microwave for 15 seconds in a glass bowl, or over low heat on the stove.
