Preparation and cooking overview

Making our keto hollandaise sauce at home is super easy. Just whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, and butter over a double boiler, and in just 10 minutes, you'll have a creamy, smooth sauce ready to enjoy!

Chef's note

We made this hollandaise sauce using a double-boiling method. However, you can also make it in a blender if you prefer. To do this, blend the egg yolks and lemon juice for 10 seconds on high. Slowly pour the hot melted butter while the blender is still on. Continue blending until the sauce becomes thick and has a bubbly texture.

Preparation steps

1. Gather and measure the ingredients.
2. Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
3. Squeeze a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl.
4. Melt half a cup of butter in a pan on low heat, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the stove as soon as the butter melts, and let it cool.

Cooking instructions

1. Whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice in a stainless bowl until doubled in volume.
2. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the hot water.
3. Whisk continuously while drizzling in the butter in a slow and steady stream.
4. Remove from heat and whisk in sea salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
5. Cover and keep in a warm spot.

Chef's pro tip

Perfecting this recipe depends on how well you manage the heat. Overheating can cause the eggs to curdle and the butter to split. If you think it's getting too warm, just lift the bowl away from the hot water now and then.
