Best Hollandaise Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons lukewarm water
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (8 tablespoons), cut into small pieces
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, or more to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small non-reactive saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, lukewarm water, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
2. Add Butter: Add the pieces of butter to the saucepan with the egg mixture.
3. Heat and Whisk: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk the mixture constantly as the butter melts. It will become frothy as it heats. Continue whisking for about 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat immediately.
4. Seasoning: Season the hollandaise sauce with fine sea salt and cayenne pepper, adjusting to taste.
5. Serve: Serve the hollandaise sauce immediately or keep it covered to stay warm. If the sauce thickens too much, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.

Enjoy this velvety hollandaise sauce drizzled over eggs Benedict, vegetables, or your favorite dishes!
