Was it a Hollandaise or maybe a Bearnaise? Call it what you want, but it was a darn good sauce for eggs – and I’m sure it will be tasty poured over just about any other protein or veggie. Here’s what we did this morning to jazz up our breakfast routine.
Eggs in a Daze
8 asparagus spears (toss in boiling water for about 4 minutes)
Sauce
3 egg yolks
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp hot water
1 tbsp lemon juice
pinch of sea salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
Place the asparagus spears on a plate, top with the poached eggs, cover and set aside. In a medium metal mixing bowl, gently whisk the egg yolks. Continue whisking the yolks while adding the hot water, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Place the bowl over boiling water and whisk constantly until the sauce begins to thicken (about 30 seconds – 1 minute) Serve immediately.
Enjoy!

Yum, I am so gonna make this one day for dinner!
It’s Jadenaise! And it looks darn yummy to me 🙂
what would I do without this blog. thank you, thank you, thank you…..
The fam LOVES Bernaise sauce, especially on halibut. 🙂
I was just thinking I was bored of eggs. Perhaps you’ve changed my mind! 😉
I’m really enjoying your blog! My husbands birthday is coming up this Thursday the 4th. Is there an awesome cake recipe that you have found? Any suggestions?
Hi Kimberly! A true “paleo” cake, I have not yet attempted… For birthday’s, I either visit my local bakery that makes an amazing flourless chocolate cake – or like I did for my little guys’ birthdays which were just last week – I bought a gluten free cake mix and made cupcakes. It’s a birthday after all – just stay away from the wheat!! : )
This looks awesome. I’m going to have it for dinner! Thank you!
Looks great, how many does this recipe serve??
I tried this recipe this morning and the kids LOVED it! Even at the asparagus (which was EYE POPPING to me!)!!
Thanks so much for the recipes! They’ve made my kids “Paleo Kids”!
Cheers,
Ashley
Hurray Ashley!! That’s so awesome!! : ) I made it again this morning at the request of Jaden. : )
my 4y/o loves a version of this, I make soft boiled eggs and leave them in the shell, and we dip our asparagus and sometimes bacon in the egg yolk and sauce, she is a dipper lol
I just got home from the gym, and I’m starving .. AND I barely have anything in my fridge .. but I do have asparagus & eggs!
I’m going to go make this right. now.
Thank you so much for sharing 🙂 I can’t wait to try all of your recipes!
I am new to the paleo solution; found your name and blog in robb’s book.
I’m also blown away at how I’m never hungry like I used to be. I feel empty and ready to eat but not that scary, give me anything to eat NOW, feeling. We’ll have this fabulous looking dish tomorrow morning. Glad I came here 🙂
Hi Judy! So glad you found me – let me know if you need anything and I hope you enjoy the blog! : )
Sarah! How long does this sauce last in the fridge? 🙂
Annnnd I made the curry soup about 10 minutes ago and it is DELISH!!!!!!
Hi Meghan! Every time I have made this sauce we have eaten it all! Not sure that it would do so well in the fridge, it might start to separate and get all weird once it’s cold….
This was super yummy and a great way to spice up the morning eggs. Love your website, I check it all the time for new ideas. Thanks!!!
Yes! Tomorrow’s breakfast! Yummers for the tummers!
I made the sauce and used it for some baked salmon. My girlfriend doesn’t like salmon flavor, and she ate half of the filet because of the sauce! Thank you! Only modifications – no water, added spicy brown mustard and garlic powder.
Thanks again!
Just tried your eggs in a daze. It was terrific!! Thank you sooo much for sharing your recipes and knowledge! I will definitely make this over and over again!
Just found you and the paleo lifestyle, and not only does this look deelish, but I’m glad to see the wine glasses in background of last photo…ha!
Hi Michelle!! LOL!! Yes, it would be a brave soul who dared to try and take away my red wine! So glad you found my blog! : )
I am planning on making this tomorrow, but is the sauce recipe for a family breakfast? Or is that the amount I should use for one breakfast… also, if it is for a large meal of more than one eater – is there a good way to keep it or reheat it?
Hi Ashley, I would double the recipe if you are making it for a big family. The first time I made it there was enough for 3 of us so I had to double it the second time. I would recommend using it all as soon as it’s ready, it might separate a bit if you store it in the fridge and it would be hard to re-heat. : )
Sarah – you continue to amaze me! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
Hi Sarah! This is one of my fav things to make! I usually fry up some thinly sliced tip steak to add to the pile of goodness, and it makes for a nice hearty brunch that will keep you full ’til dinner. Thanks for the recipe and I’m very much looking forward to getting your new book in the mail!!!!!
Thank you Samantha!
I made this for breakfast this morning…DELICIOUS! My 21 yo daughter who isn’t Paleo (yet!!) loved it. I had super fresh asparagus, picked yesterday, from MI, oh so good. This is one of my new favorites!!
I just tried this – it was fabulous! 😀 I will have it again tomorrow. I’ve never tried to make a Hollandaise or Bearnaise sauce before, but this worked out well.
I have your book, Sarah and just love the recipes in it! And everything else in it, too! 😉
I couldn’t get the sauce to thicken, even after holding above the boiling water for almost 5 minutes! I ended up using a bit of butter and throwing it in a sauce pan…
Do you have any suggestions about where I may have gone wrong?
Thank you!
Where you whisking it constantly and holding it close enough to the water to get hot? I wish I could come over and see what happened and help you!! : )
Just made the hollandaise and having it on bed of leftover roasted sweet potato, carrots, and spinach with a bit of bacon. Heaven! Thanks for the recipie!
As someone who has a gluten allergy, and many friends who have allergies, I have to say, your website here has been a lifesaver time and time again! I cannot tell you how many times you have saved the day with a quick easy idea or substitute. I am so greatful for you!
So glad to hear! Thank you Brittany!
