Carnivore Easy Hollandaise Sauce

Carnivore Easy Hollandaise Sauce

This Carnivore Easy Hollandaise Sauce is a creamy, buttery dream—perfect for pouring over eggs, steak, or even carnivore waffles (yes, they exist!). It’s indulgent, deeply satisfying, and made with just a handful of nutrient-dense, animal-based ingredients.

Traditional hollandaise is already close to carnivore, but this simplified version strips away any unnecessary fluff and focuses on pure, wholesome fats and egg yolk goodness. The optional lemon juice adds a bright tang that enhances the richness, but it can be left out for a stricter or more primal approach.

Ingredient Benefits

Butter (or Ghee)

Butter provides the velvety base of this sauce, rich in saturated fats that support hormone health and energy production. It’s also a great source of vitamin A, D, and K2—especially when sourced from grass-fed cows. Ghee (clarified butter) is another option for those who are dairy-sensitive but still want the flavor and benefits of butterfat.

Egg Yolks

Egg yolks are a nutritional powerhouse. They’re loaded with choline (for brain health), biotin, fat-soluble vitamins, and healthy fats. In this recipe, they emulsify beautifully with the butter to create a lusciously thick, golden sauce.

Water

Just a small splash is used to help create a smoother consistency and prevent curdling. It’s the unsung hero that makes the sauce light and pourable without diluting its richness.

Lemon Juice (Optional)

Though not strictly carnivore, lemon juice adds acidity that balances the butter’s richness. It can also help stabilize the sauce and bring a bright, subtle zing that many love. Leave it out if you're sticking to a zero-carb plan.

Sea Salt

Enhances flavor and delivers trace minerals, including magnesium and potassium. It also brings out the natural umami of the butter and eggs.

Whether you're topping a perfectly soft-poached egg, steak tips, or crispy bacon, this hollandaise is an elegant way to boost fat intake while staying 100% carnivore.
