Instructions
- Cook 4 chopped bacon strips until crisp. Drain on paper towels, reserving the drippings. Combine 4 egg yolks, 3 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and a pinch of cayenne in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water; whisk until thick, 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon bacon drippings, and salt to taste. Serve over steamed asparagus and top with chives and the bacon.

Okay sauce. It’s more of a nod to a hollandaise sauce. The vinegar was a bit too much for my taste, so I turned it into a hollandaise sauce adding lemon zest and some lemon juice as well as some butter and salt. That made it taste better. Next time, I’ll just make that and add bacon instead.
My husband said the flavor tasted like the secret sauce in a big mac….then I thought ewww, it kinda does! Not the elegant flavor I was hoping for after all the work. I wouldn’t make it again.
This is such a great way to make asparagus.Very easy. Very tasty
