Ingredients
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing a double boiler. Fill a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Do not let it come to a boil.
Step 2
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and cayenne pepper until well blended.
Step 3
Place the bowl over the simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Constantly whisk the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Step 4
Slowly drizzle in the avocado oil, one tablespoon at a time, while continuously whisking. Ensure each addition of oil is fully incorporated before adding more, taking about 5-7 minutes to emulsify the sauce.
Step 5
If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 6
Once all the oil is incorporated and the sauce is thick and creamy, remove the bowl from heat.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or cayenne pepper if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately over your dish of choice. If preparing ahead of time, keep the sauce warm over a bowl of warm water or in an insulated container.
