Olive Oil Hollandaise Sauce

July 21, 2014

Hold the butter and enjoy the classic flavour of a traditional Hollandaise sauce without the saturated fats found in butter. Yes, please!

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp ground white pepper
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 cup Della Terra Butter Olive Oil, warmed
• 1 tsp fine sea salt
• pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice and 1 tbsp of warm water. Add the mixture to the jar of a blender. With the machine continuously running, slowly pour in olive oil, a little at a time. If the mixture thickens too quickly, add a little more warm water. Continue blending, adding remaining olive oil in a thin stream until the mixture emulsifies (thickens). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Makes 1-1/2 cups
