Yogurt Hollandaise Sauce

Submitted by Deantini

"Who would have thought? A GUILT FREE Hollandaise Sauce that does not compromise on flavour!!! This is our go-to recipe and we find it better than the sauces filled with butter. Sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 1 week. From 'Smart Cooking' byAnne Lindsay."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 1/4 cups
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt, plain
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 3 egg yolks
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 pinch fresh ground pepper
• optional 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley

directions

1. Use double boiler or like me - place a strainer/sieve over a sauce pan of water and place a bowl in the sieve.
2. Beat yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks well
3. Heat over simmering water, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened, approx 15 min (sauce will become thinner after about 10 min and then thicken again).
4. Remove from heat and stir in salt, mustard, pepper and dill/parsley (if using).

Holy cow - it actually worked. I like my Hollandaise on the tart side and the yogurt worked well in that regard. You can halve the lemon and skip the mustard and it's much milder that way. It tastes more like the packets, but it was still really good. I'll be keeping this after I finish losing weight. No more butter for me.

I will start by saying that I approached this recipe skeptically - I am a huge fan of hollandaise and I don't like yoghurt but the reduction in calories and fat was hard to pass up. I made the recipe as directed and used a hit of lemon pepper as I generally do with the 'real deal'. I can't say that I like it quite as much as the 1/4 lb. of butter version but I sure like enough to make it again and again and feel virtuous about it too. We have dubbed this 'faux Hollandaise' and enjoyed it very much. It will be nice to have Eggs Benedict more frequently than I currently allow myself. I'll save the full fat, butter laden version for special occasions and use this one in between. Thanks for sharing. Made for the Bistro Babes - ZWT 8

Love the yogurt hollandaise sauce. I used fat free sour cream only because I didn’t have yogurt. Very easy and delicious! Had it on a poached egg and tonight over salmon fillet. Thank you for posting this recipe. I’ve been searching for a WW friendly sauce. ??

Turned out much better than expected. Although not an exact replica (how do you replace real butter :)) it is an excellent substitution. I recently joined Weight Watchers and this is a 0 point alternative to Hollandaise. I can make an eggs benedict with Canadian bacon (up to 3 pieces - 1 point), a poached egg and spinach on 1/2 of a toasted Sandwich Thin (1 point) with this sauce on top and you have an outstanding 2 point breakfast!
