If you're anything like me, you LOVE hollandaise sauce, but you DON'T love all the calories and saturated fat. This recipe gives you a better option. It's lightened up, and best of all, it's all-natural!
- 2 egg yolks from free-range eggs
- 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
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp lemon zest
- ¼ C fresh chives
- In an uncoated pan, 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. To do this I borrowed a tiny whisk from my son's kitchen toy set and it work perfectly. I'm pretty sure they sell them at kitchen supply stores for adult use too...
- Beat in your lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add ¼ cup of water to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer while continuously beating. Once you have reached a simmer, remove your sauce from the heat.
- Once the sauce has stopped simmering, whisk ¼ C sour cream into your mixture until evenly combined and there are no lumps.
- Garnish your Light Hollandaise Sauce with chives and you're ready to serve.
