Five Minute Hollandaise Sauce

I love Hollandaise Sauce but hate making it. I found this microwave recipe in a cookbook that my parents got with their first microwave almost 30 years ago. The sauce always turns out perfectly!

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 3-4
• Yields: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 1  dash cayenne pepper
• 3  egg yolks, slightly beaten

Directions

1. In a 1-quart glass bowl, combine butter, water, lemon juice and cayenne.
2. Cook in microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes, or until butter melts and mixture boils.
3. With wire whisk, gradually beat in egg yolks, beating constantly.
4. Cook at medium-low for 30 to 60 seconds, or until thickened.
5. Enjoy!
