Homemade Hollandaise Sauce


Homemade Hollandaise Sauce

2 egg yolks
2 tbsp. water
1/3 cup unsalted butter (Melted)
2 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

In a bowl, whisk together the yolks and water until frothy and blended. Add yolk mixture to a small pot over low-medium heat, whisk constantly until the mixture has thickened; remove from heat and continue whisking. Whisk in melted butter slowly and whisk in remaining ingredients. Serve on top of your favorite veggies or meats:-)

*Johnna's tip: Be careful with the salt. A too salty hollandaise is too much for the taste buds and an extra dash could be just what pushes it over the edge. Hollandaise is perfect for asparagus, broccoli, steaks or even homemade french fries...use it as the extra kick for your main dishes;-)

Great recipe, Johnna! I used a double boiler to heat the eggs and thicken them and it worked out great! I also put a little papricka in at the end because it was going over eggs benedict. This is going to be my go-to recipe for hollandaise sauce! Thanks for posting!
