Ingredients
- 1 large raw egg, yolk
- 3 tablespoon tap water
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne
- 2 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large raw egg
Instructions
- Make the hollandaise sauce first. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, water, and lemon juice until frothy.
- Create a double boiler by placing your bowl over a pot filled with 1 inch of water at a simmer. Continually whisk the bowl of egg yolks over the simmering water until it bubbles around the edges and thickens. You’ll feel the egg yolks thicken while you whisk.
- Whisk in the salt, paprika, and cayenne. Whisk the butter into the bowl, melting just 1 TB at a time. Again, continually whisk until the sauce becomes thick and doubles in size. Take the bowl off the simmering water and set it aside to cool and thicken.
- To make the eggs, heat the olive oil in a medium sized pan over low heat. Crack two eggs in the oil. At your discretion, you may add salt and pepper, but remember the sauce will add a lot of flavor.
- Leave the eggs undisturbed as they fry in the oil. Place a lid over the pan to trap the heat and cook the eggs. Cook about 4-5 minutes, low and slow, to cook the eggs to a medium doneness with crispy edges.
- To serve, ladle 3 TB of hollandaise sauce on a plate and place 1 egg on top. Garnish with additional sauce and paprika.
