Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a heatproof bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step 2
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. This creates a double boiler setup to gently cook the sauce.
Step 3
Whisk the mixture continuously while it gently cooks. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Step 4
Once the mixture begins to thicken (about 5–7 minutes), add the butter one tablespoon at a time. Allow each tablespoon of butter to melt completely before adding the next.
Step 5
Continue to whisk until the sauce is smooth, glossy, and reaches your desired consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a teaspoon of warm water or more lemon juice, depending on your preference.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired.
Step 7
Remove the bowl from heat and transfer the sauce to a serving dish. Serve warm over eggs, vegetables, or fish for a delicious and light accompaniment.
