Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup half-and-half
2 large egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on medium power until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add half-and-half, egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper to melted butter; stir to combine. Microwave, uncovered, on medium power for 2 1/2 minutes. Stir, and microwave on medium power for 1 more minute.
Remove from the microwave and whisk until fluffy; sauce may look curdled at first, but it will become nice and smooth as you whisk it.
