Toasted herb focaccia, bacon, mixed greens, swirl method poached eggs, and a spicy lemon-forward hollandaise sauce (cause that’s how I like it!)

Recipe for super easy microwave hollandaise sauce (because the double boiler method is a pain in the ass). This makes enough for 2 people and takes about 3 min:

  • Mix two egg yolks, juice from 1/4-1/2 a lemon depending on how lemon-y you want it (you can always add more but not less!), salt, and cayenne in a microwave safe bowl.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter and slowly pour into egg mixture while whisking.
  • Then microwave the mixed sauce in 10 ish sec increments, whisking thoroughly in between, until it’s a lighter yellow/looks like hollandaise (usually 20-30 sec total in microwave). Try to avoid the egg cooking but if it does cook a little, just whisk for a min and it’ll blend out again.
  • You can add small amounts of water and whisk if it’s too thick (again, you can always add more but can’t add less)
  • Top with cracked black pepper/paprika/cayenne/whateva you like!
