Light Hollandaise Sauce

  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Prep Time: 5 min
  • Cooking Time: 5 min

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • ⅛ tsp paprika
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 2 pinches of black pepper
  • ¼ C water
  • ¼ C sour cream

  • ¼ tsp lemon zest
  • ¼ C fresh chives

Preparation

  1. In an uncoated pan, over medium-low heat, melt 1 Tbsp of butter while continuously beating together with 2 tsp of olive oil and two egg yolks. You'll end up with a thick, yellow sauce.

  5. Garnish your Light Hollandaise Sauce with chives and you're ready to serve.
