1
Prepare the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it's completely melted and begins to clarify. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2
Whisk the Egg Yolks
In a heat-proof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture is pale and frothy.

3
Create a Double Boiler
Set the bowl with the egg yolks over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
4
Emulsify the Mixture
Continue whisking the egg yolks while slowly drizzling in the melted butter, ensuring the mixture thickens and emulsifies. If it gets too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.
5
Season the Hollandaise
Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and season with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Adjust lemon juice to taste if needed.

6
Serve Immediately
Serve the hollandaise sauce warm over eggs benedict, steamed vegetables, or your preferred dish. Enjoy!
