Silky smooth and lemony, this easy hollandaise sauce will take your normal egg breakfast from “ho-hum” to “oh, wow”!

Keto dieting can mean a lot of eggs for breakfast. Hard boiled, scrambled, poached, and over medium. Eggs are a great source of protein. They boast over 6 grams of protein, nearly 5 grams of healthy fat and less than .5 carbs each. (source) 

It’s easy to see why so many keto dieters consume a lot of eggs, right? But, they can get old FAST. So, how do you make them more palatable when you think you just can’t eat another egg?

Make easy hollandaise sauce, of course. 

Hollandaise sauce is a creamy, silky smooth, sauce made from lemon juice, salt, butter, eggs and a bit of simmering water or vinegar, if needed. More delicious fats on top of your keto friendly breakfast, right? You can make it more spicy by adding salt and cayenne pepper instead of salt and pepper, if you would like. 

This recipe uses an immersion blender. You can also use a regular blender, if that’s all you have. If you have strong arms, or want to workout your arms without a gym, a hand whisk will also do the trick. Use what you have and you will still get great results.

How to serve this easy hollandaise sauce recipe:

• Over poached egg, or fried eggs in an eggs benedict breakfast. 
• On top of chicken or keto meatloaf
• Drizzled over asparagus
• Poured on top of grilled salmon

Some troubleshooting tips for a classic hollandaise sauce:

• Make sure the butter is not too hot. Remove it from the heat after it is JUST melted. I usually take it off the heat when there is still a bit of solid butter left, and stir that in to melt. This will also allow the butter to cool a bit. 
• Use unsalted butter, if you have it on hand. Add additional salt and pepper as desired. Regular salted butter is great for so many things, but too  much salt can easily ruin any dish, and this easy hollandaise is no exception. 
• Don’t give up if it seems to thin, this easy hollandaise sauce WILL thicken as it starts to cool a bit. 
• If the sauce gets too thick, simply thin with a bit of warm water, or 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar. 

Ingredients:

• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• pinch of pepper (black or cayenne)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Add salt, pepper, egg yolks, and lemon juice to a small bowl or jar.
2. Blend with an immersion blender for 30 seconds to incorporate.
3. Melt butter over low heat, or in a double boiler, until just melted, and remove from heat immediately.
4. Drizzle melted butter while running the immersion blender and blend all the melted butter in.
5. Continue to blend for an additional 30 seconds so sauce can begin to thicken.
6. Store leftovers in the fridge.
