Hollandaise Sauce

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

3 egg yolks

1 tablespoon lemon juice (or more as desired for flavor)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon salt

pinch of cayenne pepper

1/2 cup unsalted butter or ghee (or more for a thinner consistency, melted and hot)

Directions

Melt the butter in a microwave (make sure it's covered as it will splatter) for about 1 minute, until it's hot. Alternatively, you could heat it on the stove.

Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, dijon, salt and cayenne pepper into a high powered blender and blend for 5 seconds until combined.

With the blender running on medium high, slowly stream in the hot butter into the mixture until it's emulsified.

Pour the hollandaise sauce into a small bowl and serve while warm.
