Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper until smooth and well combined.
2. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
3. Stir the mixture continuously with a whisk or silicone spatula to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
4. Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, to thin the sauce to your desired consistency. Continue stirring as the mixture heats and becomes creamy, about 6-8 minutes.
5. Once the sauce has thickened and is silky, remove it from the heat immediately.
6. Taste and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or cayenne, if needed, for seasoning.
7. Serve warm over your favorite dish. If the sauce cools down or thickens, reheat gently over the simmering water while stirring continuously.
