Method
0 of 7 done- Melt the butter gently and set aside; it should be warm, not hot.
- Separate the egg yolk from the white. In a heatproof bowl that sits atop a saucepan, whisk the egg yolk with up to a tablespoon of water, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the remaining water to the boil in the saucepan, then lower the heat so it simmers steadily.
- Position the bowl over the pan, ensuring the water does not touch the bowl's base. Stir continuously, letting the steam warm the yolk mixture.
- Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken. Then, trickle in the melted butter very slowly, whisking all the while to prevent lumps, until the sauce is thick and creamy.
- If the sauce seems too thick, loosen it with a splash of water.
- Use at once over poached eggs or baked salmon; do not reheat as it will curdle.
