Ingredients

• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3 dashes Hot sauce (optional)
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Ground white pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or until fully liquefied.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, hot sauce (if using), salt, and ground white pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while continuously whisking. This will help to create a smooth and creamy sauce with a consistency similar to traditional Hollandaise.

Step 4

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

Step 5

If desired, warm the sauce slightly by microwaving it for 10-15 seconds before serving. Be careful not to overheat, as it may cause the sauce to separate.

Step 6

Serve immediately over eggs Benedict, steamed vegetables, or grilled fish.
