Low Fat Microwave Hollandaise Sauce image

From a magazine, here for safe keeping. Makes a very good, thick and mild hollandaise. I eat it over poached eggs and toast in the mornings or use as a dipping sauce for steamed veggies. Amazingly easy. Stores well in fridge. I play around with the amount of mustard and cayenne as I like a spicier taste. Servings calculated on 1 T serving.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter to prevent the sauce from becoming too salty.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces so that it melts evenly.
  • Use a medium-sized bowl to whisk the ingredients together. A small bowl will make it difficult to whisk the sauce properly, and a large bowl will make it difficult to control the temperature of the sauce.
  • Whisk the sauce continuously until it is thick and creamy. If you stop whisking, the sauce will start to separate.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of milk or water and whisk until the desired consistency is reached.
  • If the sauce is not thick enough, microwave it for a few more seconds, whisking constantly.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite dishes, such as eggs Benedict, asparagus, or fish.

Conclusion:

Microwave hollandaise sauce is a quick and easy way to make a classic sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a delicious and creamy hollandaise sauce that will impress your family and friends.
