Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard (or 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (+ plus 1 teaspoon )
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (*)
  • 2-3 dashes salt
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick, melted (hot!))

Instruction

  • In a blender,** add egg yolks, dijon mustard, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, microwave the butter for about a minute until it is melted and very hot.
  • Open the top spout of your blender. Turn the blender on low and pour in the hot butter. It should thicken immediately.
  • Taste it and make sure all the spices are just right. Add more salt and pepper if you like.
  • Immediately pour the sauce into a measuring cup, bowl, or gravy boat. Place this into another bowl of very hot water. (You want to keep the sauce hot, but if you microwave it, it will curdle.)
  • Serve immediately.
  • Do not microwave to reheat! Run the container under hot water.
