  • 4

    Make the hollandaise sauce: Fill a small pot with about 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  • 5

    In a heat-safe bowl that fits over the pot, whisk the egg yolks. Add the lemon juice and whisk until creamy.

  • 6

    Place the bowl over the pot with the simmering water to make a double boiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Reduce the heat to low. While whisking constantly, slowly pour in the melted butter, then continue whisking until the volume has doubled. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the cayenne pepper and salt.

    Remove the asparagus from the grill and transfer to a serving plater. Pour the hollandaise sauce over the asparagus and serve. Enjoy!
