Hollandaise Sauce

A classic French sauce made with egg yolks, butter, and lemon juice. Perfect for drizzling over eggs Benedict or steamed vegetables.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Whisk the egg yolk mixture continuously while slowly pouring in the melted butter. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and emulsifies.
Remove the bowl from the heat and continue whisking for another minute to cool the sauce slightly.
Serve immediately or keep warm in a thermos or double boiler until ready to use.
