Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground white pepper
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the yogurt, egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Microwave the mixture on medium power for 15 seconds. Remove and whisk thoroughly.
Repeat microwaving in 15-second intervals, whisking after each, until the mixture begins to thicken. This should take about 4 to 5 intervals (depending on your microwave). Be careful not to overheat as the eggs may scramble.
Once the sauce has thickened, immediately whisk in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.
Finish by stirring in the ground white pepper for seasoning. Taste and adjust seasonings (e.g., more salt or lemon juice) if desired.
Serve warm over your favorite dishes. If the sauce cools and thickens too much, gently reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds and whisk again before serving.
