Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use clarified butter or ghee instead of regular butter.
  • Make sure the butter and egg yolks are at room temperature before you start cooking. This will help the sauce emulsify smoothly.
  • Add the melted butter slowly to the egg yolks, whisking constantly. This will prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • If the sauce starts to curdle, remove it from the heat and whisk in a few drops of cold water or lemon juice. This will help to bring it back together.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as cayenne pepper, tarragon, or chives.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite dishes, such as eggs Benedict, asparagus, or fish.
