Important Ingredients

Yolks from an egg – Although egg whites are praised for their lower cholesterol levels, the yellow interior of the egg is where all of the nutrients are found!

Heavy Cream — When it comes to keto, heavy cream is a dream come true. It’s a fantastic high-fat, low-carb option for thickening soups, flavoring coffee, and producing homemade whipped cream.

How to Make Hollandaise Sauce

The whole recipe and ingredients list can be found below, but you’ll also get a quick explanation of how to make this recipe precisely, as well as helpful tips and information!

You won’t believe how easy this hollandaise is to make!

To begin, separate the eggs and melt the butter entirely. Set aside the egg whites for an egg white omelet or meringue if you don’t plan on using them in this recipe.

Beat the egg yolks well with a fork or a tiny whisk, then stir them into the melted butter. Microwave the cream and lemon juice until the mixture is thick.

Congratulations on making a delicious microwave hollandaise sauce! If you like, add a bit more lemon juice at the end, but it’s all up to you.

Chef’s Advice

• This microwave hollandaise will solidify in the refrigerator due to the amount of butter in it, so it’s not a good option for meal prep. However, you can keep it in the fridge for a day or two and use the solidified sauce as hollandaise butter over toast or muffins.
• Don’t worry if your grocery shop only has heavy whipping cream instead of heavy cream. It’s basically the same thing! Both of them have a fat content of at least 36%.
• You’ll need to separate the egg yolks for this microwave hollandaise, which can be challenging if you’ve never done it before. Two dishes are required: one for the whites and the other for the yolks. Start with cold eggs, as they are easier to separate, and crack the egg against a flat surface – your countertop will suffice! Allow the egg whites to drain until you’re left with just the yolk by transferring the egg from the shell onto your fingers over the egg-white bowl. If you don’t want to use your fingers, pour the egg back and forth between the two shell halves, letting the egg white drain into the bowl as you go. The egg whites should be in the bowl and the egg yolk on one side of the shell.
