This is a recipe for microwave hollandaise sauce that is delicious and easy! It is from the cookbook, Colorado Cache Cookbook, by the Junior Leage of Denver. Yes, hollandaise sauce is fattening, but it's sooooo good and if you just make it occasionally, it is okay - I said so! And you can't beat it for putting over baked salmon!
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup light cream (I use half and half)
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of cayenne peppr
Melt butter in a 4 cup glass container in microwave for 1 minute. Stir in remaining ingredients and cook 1 minute. Stir once while cooking. Stir briskly with wire wisk until light and fluffy. Don't overcook or sauce will curdle.
(MY NOTE: I put it in the microwave on about 1/2 power and take it out 3 or 4 times to stir with the wire wisk. I have never tried their directions for only 1 minute - I want to watch it closer than they say.)
