Ingredients

Scale

Hollandaise Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon grass-fed butter or ghee
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ tablespoon water

Eggs Benedict

Instructions

  1. For the Hollandaise sauce, in a small sauce pan, melt the butter or ghee over medium-low heat.
  2. Add all the ingredients into a high-powered blender until well combined.
  3. In a medium-size frying pan over medium heat, add coconut or avocado oil.
