Hollandaise sauce enjoys the reputation of being difficult to make. I'm here to show you that it is actually very simple.

Hollandaise Sauce
 2 egg YOLKS
 2 tbsp filtered water
 1 stick unsalted butter
 ½ juice from half of a lemon
 ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
 ¼ tsp salt & pepper (to taste)
1

Add egg yolks, butter, lemon juice, and water to a cold pot

2

Place pot over MEDIUM-LOW heat and whisk slowly and continuously until the butter has melted. Continue to whisk, about 5 minutes, until sauce steams and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon

3

Remove pot from heat, whisk in cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve warm
