  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or more as desired for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • cayenne pepper pinch
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter or ghee or more for a thinner consistency, melted and hot

Preparation

  1. Melt the butter in a microwave (make sure it's covered as it will splatter) for about 1 minute, until it's hot. Alternatively, you could heat it on the stove.
  2. Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper into a high powered blender and blend for 5 seconds until combined.
  3. With the blender running on medium high, slowly stream in the hot butter into the mixture until it's emulsified.
  4. Pour the hollandaise sauce into a small bowl and serve while warm.
