ingredients

4 extra large egg yolks
1 teaspoon water
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into tablespoon sized pieces
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

directions

Add warm water to the bottom of a double boiler and bring to a simmer (do not let it boil) over medium-low heat. Whisk together the eggs and water until frothy then add to the top of the double boiler. Whisk constantly for 3-5 minutes or until the eggs start to thicken.

Carefully remove the top of the double boiler from the pan. Add the butter one piece at a time, stirring constantly until it is incorporated before adding the next piece. Whisk in the lemon juice and cayenne. Season with the salt and pepper.

Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight. To reheat, place in the top of a double boiler over low heat and stir until warmed.
