Ingredients

• 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground white pepper
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks, Dijon mustard, salt, and ground white pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over very low heat, and continue whisking the mixture gently to prevent the egg yolks from scrambling. This process will slowly warm the mixture without cooking the eggs too quickly.

Step 3

Add the water to the saucepan and continue to whisk until the sauce begins to thicken. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Cut the low-fat unsalted butter into small pieces. Gradually add the butter to the mixture, one piece at a time, whisking continuously to incorporate each piece before adding the next. This helps to emulsify the sauce.

Step 5

Once all the butter has been added, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, as desired.

Step 6

Continue to whisk over low heat until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and reaches your desired thickness. This should take an additional 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from heat and serve immediately. Note: The sauce can be kept warm in a double boiler if needed, but should not be reheated directly to avoid curdling.
