Ingredients
- 40 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 15 g Unsalted Butter
- 2 large Egg Yolks
- 30 ml Fresh Lemon Juice
- 60 ml Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
- 5 ml Dijon Mustard
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black Pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the extra virgin olive oil and unsalted butter. Stir gently until the butter has melted completely. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2
In a stainless steel bowl, whisk together egg yolks and fresh lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Step 3
Slowly add the warm oil and butter mixture into the egg yolks, a few drops at a time, while whisking continuously. This process is crucial to create a smooth, emulsified sauce.
Step 4
Once about half of the oil mixture has been incorporated and the sauce begins to thicken, you can add the rest more steadily while whisking continuously.
Step 5
Gently whisk in the low-sodium vegetable broth to lighten the consistency of the sauce.
Step 6
Add the Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, whisking until fully combined.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Step 8
Remove from heat, and serve immediately over your favorite dishes.
