Aunt Rocky’s Instant Hollandaise for One

In a small microwaveable bowl, mix egg yolk and soft butter well with a fork or small whisk. Add lemon juice and cayenne, and whisk again.

Microwave at full power in 10-second increments, whisking well at each interval. Sauce is done when it is as thick as you want it. If the sauce gets too thick, add a few drops of warm water and whisk until smooth and creamy again.

Recipe may be multiplied by however may servings you need at one time. If you make extra, leftover sauce may be stored for several days in the refrigerator.

Note:
1. If Hollandaise breaks (separates), it can usually be fixed by adding a small amount of warm water and whisking until smooth again. Freezing not recommended.
2. Although not called for in traditional Hollandaise Sauce, I like a small pinch of dry mustard powder in mine. It adds a nice flavor.
