Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce

I felt the urgency to get this recipe out before the season of fresh asparagus had come and gone!   There is little better than a summer meal accompanied by fresh asparagus. It has a crisp sweetness that you do not get during the off season.  We LOVE to grill and roast it but the hollandaise sauce has become a new favorite and I'm sure once you try it it will be for you and yours as well.

Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce
Roasted or Grilled Asparagus
Two Egg Yolks
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
1/4 cup buttered (cubed)
Dash of Cayenne Pepper, Salt and Pepper

Whisk egg yolks until just a bit paler in color, add the lemon juice.  Over low heat continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken.  Add the butter a cube or two at a time, whisking until all butter has been combined.  Season and serve.

Happy Eating!
