2  jumbo egg yolks, room temp.
1 ½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  ¾ tsp kosher salt
¼ black pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper
6 Tbsp (¾ stick) unsalted butter

1. Place egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of a blender and process on low for 15 seconds.
2. Melt the butter in small saucepan until sizzling hot.

4. Use immediately.

Note: Use caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce risk, use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
