Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with 1-2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
In a heatproof bowl (such as stainless steel or glass), whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, water, and Dijon mustard until fully combined.
Place the bowl over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the simmering water to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly.
Whisk constantly while the mixture slowly thickens. This may take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Once thickened, start adding the olive oil in a very slow, steady stream while whisking vigorously. Continue whisking until all of the olive oil is incorporated and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and season with salt and cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the dairy-free hollandaise sauce immediately over your dish of choice, or keep it warm over the simmering water for up to 15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
