EASY DILL HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Easy Dill Hollandaise Sauce image

This hollandaise uses a microwave instead of a double boiler, cutting back tremendously on prep time and mess. The melted butter provides enough heat to cook the sauce. This recipe makes enough sauce to cover 2 servings of eggs Benedict.

Ingredients

¼ cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch salt
½ teaspoon chopped fresh dill
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon boiling water

Steps:

Melt butter in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval to prevent popping, 1 to 2 minutes.

Whisk boiling water in gradually until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute more.
