Healthier Hollandaise Sauce

This Healthier Hollandaise Sauce is my version of a classic condiment. It's rich, creamy, velvety smooth, and ready in just a few short minutes.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Method: Stove Top

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter unsalted
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup warm water, if needed

Instructions

  • In a double boiler or microwave, melt butter.
  • While butter is melting, place egg yolks, lemon juice, and spices in a blender and cover. On low speed, slowly pour the melted butter into the blender in a steady stream until the butter and egg yolk are well blended.
  •  If the sauce is thick slowly add in water, until you have reached a slightly thick and runny consistency.
  •  Taste and adjust spices as needed. Serve warm in serving dish of choice!
