Hollandaise Laced Broccoli - 5 days till Christmas

Hollandaise Laced Broccoli

Counting down to Christmas I thought I'd post a vegi to remind us that it's not all about egg nog and sweets this time of year. (Oh… but they're so good …and what other time of year do we indulge so freely?)  While this IS a good 4 u vegetable, it's low carb, gluten free has 45 proteins and is still feels a little indulgent with the creamy hollandaise sauce.

1 head of broccoli

4 egg yolks

1-¼Tbsp lemon juice

½ cup butter, melted

Pinch of cayenne

Wash broccoli and cut 16 spears about 5inches long. Steam for 5-6 minutes. Meanwhile,

in a small bowl whisk, egg yolks and lemon juice about a minute until mixture is thick and nearly doubled.  Place mixture in top of double boiler or place bowl over sauce pan of simmering water, whisking constantly.  Do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water or the eggs may cook too quickly.  Slowly add melted butter as you whisk and whisk about 4 minutes until mixture thickens and is doubled in volume.  Remove from heat and whisk in cayenne.  Place 4 spears of broccoli on each plate and top with 3 tablespoons hollandaise sauce.
