Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lemon, juice plus 1 teaspoon zest separated
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 10 dashes Tabasco hot sauce, or to taste
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- pinch ground white pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Bring one inch water to a simmer in the bottom of a double boiler or large saucepan.
- Whisk lemon juice and egg yolks in the top of the double boiler or metal bowl. Adjust heat under the double boiler so the water is at a gentle simmer. Set bowl over the simmering water in the double boiler or saucepan and whisk. Lift bowl occasionally to allow the trapped steam to escape so the bowl doesn’t get too hot. Cook, whisking constantly until the egg mixture is steaming hot and thickened, but not curdling along the edge, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the egg mixture from the heat and whisk in melted butter. Whisk in yogurt, a little at a time until smooth. Whisk in Tabasco, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Keep warm until ready to serve. Do not keep warm for longer than 4 hours.
