This sauce tastes like a rich, creamy, lemony butter. You can add other favourite herbs and spices to lightly flavour it like dill or cayenne pepper.
Hollandaise sauce can be a little bit tricky to make, and of course I have messed it up a few times, but when you get the hang of it – It is worth every golden spoonful! I hope you enjoy this as much as we have!

Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1/2 cup butter-melted
Instructions
- Add the egg yolks to a small pot; whisk until bright yellow and slightly thick, about 1 minute.
- Whisk in lemon juice, and pepper.
- Melt the butter in the microwave until it is liquid and very hot.
- Put the pot on low heat (or using a double boiler) continue to whisk while very, very slowly pouring in the hot butter in.
- While whisking, the sauce will thicken up slightly as it begins to heat in the pot. Just bring the mixture to a temperature of 160 degrees.
- Tip - Eggs start to curdle at around 160-170°F/71-76°C. The trick is to heat your egg yolks enough to get them thick, but stop right before they reach this temperature.
- While it is still hot - pour over vegetables, steak, eggs, or whatever you choose to!
- Enjoy!
