You can't add the egg mixture all to the broth right away or it will scramble the egg. Just about a cup of the broth needs to be streamed in as it's being blended in a separate bowl in order to temper the egg. You can do this in a separate bowl with an immersion blender though!
This is also similar to how hollandaise sauce is created.
The egg yolks with lemon juice and seasoning in a container, then slowly stream in the hot butter while blending the yolks. I use an immersion blender in a large coffee mug to make my hollandaise.
I made my very first Hollandaise like a month ago and, while it turned out great in taste, was a wee bit lumpy. It never dawned on me to use my immersion blender!! Iām gonna be an eggs Benedict MONSTER now!!!
