Keto fans meet your new fav sauce.
Serve it over eggs, meat or cooked vegetables. It is an easy way to be sure you are getting enough fats in your diet. And did I mention delicious?
This once "guilty pleasure" splurge-at-brunch-sauce is no longer that now that we all are realizing what we knew about fats and cholesterol is totally wrong. So, dive in.. enjoy. And once you see how easy it is to master, it transcends any meal.
Replace the bread with a low-carb fried green tomato for a delicious keto-friendly version of the classic Eggs Benedict. Or simply line a muffin cup with bacon (forming a nest) and drop in an egg, baking until desired doneness.

Take a chance and try this. Why it seems intimidating, I'm really not sure. Once you do, you'll see .. there is nothing to be afraid of. And you won't ever think of using one of those packets, ever again.
Perfectly yummy (and easier than you think!) Hollandaise Sauce
4 egg yolks
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbs. water
1/8 tsp. salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 pinches of freshly ground white pepper
16 Tbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Have a kitchen towel at ready. Set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice and water. Whisk constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, then continue whisking about a minute more. Remove the bowl and set on a kitchen towel as soon as the mixture thickens. Whisk in the salt, cayenne and white pepper.
Whisk the mixture while slowly pouring in the melted butter in a thin stream until incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Cover and keep warm over very low heat until ready to serve.
**No-Whisk Blender Method:
Now while I prefer the classic method of whisking, you can easily make this in a blender or food processor. The french chef I trained under would not have it, but you can if you choose.

To make in Blender: Melt butter, set aside. In a blender, blend egg yolks, lemon juice, water, salt and peppers. With the blender going on the lowest speed, slowly drizzle melted butter into the blender until its all in there. I am quite certain this method would also work well in a food processor.
Tip: The variable speed on the Vitamix blender will work perfectly here.
