Eggs Benedict

Hollandaise Sauce

4 egg yolks

2 T. Lemon juice

pinch of cayenne pepper

Salt and Pepper

9 oz. Butter

Place the 4 egg yolks, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and S & P into a fairly large saucepan (do not turn on burner yet!) and with a hand whisk, whisk all ingredients until they have blended together.

Cut the butter into small chuncks and add to the saucepan.

Turn the heat to medium and begin to whisk the ingredients. As the butter melts make sure you blend it thouroughly, continue to whisk vigorously until blended.

If it begins to separate add 2 tsp. water and blend to a creamy sauce.

Continue to whisk until it thickens. Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Remove from heat and keep warm.
