  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Preparation Steps

Start by preparing the vegetable skewers. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and thread them onto skewers. Brush with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Grill on medium-high heat until tender and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the Balsamic Hollandaise. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and Dijon mustard. Place over a pot of simmering water and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking continuously. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Once the vegetables are grilled, serve them hot with the Balsamic Hollandaise drizzled over the top. The tangy balsamic adds a delightful twist to the creamy hollandaise, complementing the smoky vegetables beautifully.
