How to Make Quickie Hollandaise Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, gently melt 6 tablespoons (85g) of unsalted butter over low heat with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Do not let the butter brown.
  2. In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
  3. Slowly drizzle the warm melted butter mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly and vigorously. This emulsifies the sauce, creating its creamy texture.
  4. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. If it becomes too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to loosen.
  5. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately over your favorite dish.
