Description

This cream cheese hollandaise sauce is a quick, easy alternative to traditional hollandaise. Cream cheese stabilizes the sauce and makes it creamy.

Ingredients

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup milk, or as needed

Directions

1 Mix cream cheese and egg yolks together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Stir lemon juice and salt together in a separate small bowl.
2 Transfer cream cheese mixture to saucepan over low heat; whisk in lemon juice mixture. Increase heat to medium-low; bring cream cheese mixture to a boil, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes.
3 Whisk milk in gradually until desired consistency is reached. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until smooth sauce forms, 1 to 2 minutes.
