How to Make Low Fat Yogurt Hollandaise Sauce

  1. Fill a saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top, creating a double boiler.
  2. In the bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs yolks, 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper until light and frothy.
  3. Place the bowl over the simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Whisk continuously for 12-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Reduce heat if it thickens too quickly.
  4. Remove from heat and gently stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  5. Serve immediately over your favorite dish. For a richer flavor, let the sauce rest for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over hot (not boiling) water before serving.
