Recipe Makes (Approximate): 6 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter (1 stick)
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice (to taste)

Instructions

  • Cut butter into four pieces and place in 1-quart glass bowl. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high until almost melted, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir until completely melted.
  • Separate eggs. Beat yolks well with whisk or fork, then stir into melted butter. Add cream and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to egg mixture. Stir well.
  • Microwave uncovered mixture on high until just slightly thick, 1-2 minutes, stopping every 20 seconds to stir with whisk or fork. Remove from microwave and stir in extra lemon juice if desired.

Recipe Notes

  • This process heats the egg yolks, meaning they're not raw and are safe to consume during pregnancy.
