3 egg yolks  
Hollandaise Sauce  
2/3 c. melted  
unsalted butter  
This sauce is a must for Eggs Benedict!  
2 T. lemon juice  
2 T. boiling water  
cayenne pepper  
Combine 2 T. lemon juice and 2T. boiling water. Strain.  
Put egg yolks in cold double boiler. Water in double  
boiler should not touch bottom of upper pan. Beat  
with flat bottomed whisk so they look creamy and  
lemony. Over medium heat, slowly add melted butter  
while continuously stirring. When all butter has been  
added, immediately add lemon juice and boiling water  
mixture (do not overcook once butter has been added).  
This will make the sauce very thin.  
Continue stirring and cooking over medium to low heat  
until sauce starts to thicken. Do not let sauce get too thick;  
it will continue to thicken once removed from heat. Add a  
few shakes of cayenne pepper to taste. Remove from heat  
immediately. Serves 2.
