This recipe is a healthy version of hollandaise but tastes just like the real deal!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup low fat buttermilk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 Tbps. butter cut into cubes
  • 1 Tbps lemon juice
  • 1-2 tsp Dijon, optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp white or black pepper, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium sauce pan over medium/low heat, whisk together the cornstarch and buttermilk until well combined and there are no lumps.
  • Add the egg yolks to the saucepan and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens (maybe 2-3 minutes). Be patient! It may seem like it isn't thickening at all but then all of a sudden it will thicken up perfectly!
  • Once the mixture has thickened, reduce heat to low, add the cubed butter, lemon juice, dijon mustard (optional), salt, and pepper (optional), and whisk until butter has melted and all ingredients are well combined.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container (see note 1).

Notes

Note 1: To reheat microwave for 30 seconds at a time while mixing in between.
TIP: If you think your sauce is a little too thick, simply add a little more milk. If it is too thin, let it cook a little longer or add a TINY bit more cornstarch. You're the chef and you call the shots!
