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
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium saucepan with 1-2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl (such as stainless steel or glass), whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, water, and Dijon mustard until fully combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Whisk constantly while the mixture slowly thickens. This may take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from the heat and season with salt and cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
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.
