Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 150 grams Butter
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Optional: parsley or chives (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Rinse under cold water.

Step 2

Cut any larger Brussels sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the egg mixture.

Step 5

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and water until well combined.

Step 6

Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens slightly (about 2 minutes).

Step 7

Gradually drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking. Make sure to pour slowly to emulsify the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Remove the Hollandaise sauce from heat and set in a warm place, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 9

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked Brussels sprouts and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned and crispy on the edges.

Step 10

Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Drizzle the warm Hollandaise sauce over the top.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired and serve immediately.
