Description

Whisked on the stovetop until thick and creamy, this easy hollandaise sauce with extra-lemony flavor is fantastic over asparagus, eggs Benedict, and fish, too!

Ingredients

2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon water
6 tablespoons clarified butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice, or to taste

Directions

1 Whisk egg yolks and water together in a small saucepan over low heat. Slowly whisk in melted butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Slowly add lemon juice, stirring until incorporated. Cook until sauce achieves desired thickness, 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.
