Ingredients

2 lb. fresh green beans
2 C. boiling water
2 tsp. salt
5 egg yolks
2/3 C. butter or margarine, melted
2/3 C. boiling water
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
dash cayenne pepper

Cooking Instructions

Wash beans; cut off ends. Cut diagonally into 2″ pieces. Place in a large skillet with 2 C. boiling water and 2 tsp. salt. Boil gently, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, make Hollandaise Sauce: In top of a double boiler, with a wire whisk or fork, slightly beat egg yolks. Slowly stir in butter. Gradually add boiling water, beating constantly. Cook over hot, not boiling, water (water in double-boiler base should not touch pan above), stirring constantly, just until thickened. Remove from hot water. Gradually beat in lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Drain beans well; turn into a serving dish. Toss with Hollandaise, and serve immediately. Serves 8.
