- 3 eggs
- ½ tsp medium-hot Mustard

Separate the eggs (reserve the whites for another use). Mix the yolks with mustard and vegetable stock in a small pot and then set this pot over the pot of steaming water. (The bottom of pot should not touch the water below.)

Healthy, because
Thanks to the yogurt base in this recipe, this Hollandaise sauce has far fewer calories and less fat than a traditional Hollandaise sauce.
Even smarter
The yogurt and butter should be at room temperature during cooking, otherwise the Hollandaise sauce will curdle.
