Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is completely liquid. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and fresh lemon juice until the mixture is pale and thickened.

  3. 3

    Prepare Double Boiler

    Fill a saucepan with a couple of inches of water and bring it to a simmer. Place the bowl with the egg yolk mixture over the saucepan, making sure the bowl does not touch the water.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Emulsify

    Whisk the egg yolk mixture constantly while slowly drizzling in the melted butter. Start with just a few drops at first, then gradually increase the amount as the sauce begins to thicken.

  2. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Once all the butter has been incorporated and the sauce is thick and creamy, remove the bowl from the heat. Stir in the salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hollandaise sauce immediately over poached eggs, vegetables, or your favorite breakfast dish.
