How Do You Make A Quick Low-Carb Hollandaise Sauce With Your Microwave?
Hollandaise sauce is a wonderful naturally low-carb topping for omelets and quiches as well as Eggs Benedict, broccoli, asparagus, Veal Oscar, and many other foods. Making one the traditional way (double-boiler) is really not necessary. You can make hollandaise sauce for one person in less than 5 minutes using ready-at-hand ingredients, utensils and a bit of microwave cookery know-how. If butter is cold, zap it in the microwave for no more than 5-7 seconds per tablespoon. Use the coffee cup for 1-2 servings and a larger glass bowl if making hollandaise sauce for 3 or more. (Butter is preferred over margarine in low-carb diets.) Separate the egg and add the egg yolk to the butter. Stir the egg yolk and butter together thoroughly with a fork if making 1-2 servings. If making more (and using a bowl), use a whisk. After the above is thoroughly fluffed up, add lemon juice. For one serving, I recommend starting with a teaspoon per serving. More can always be added when tasting the hollandais
