Lower Fat Bearnaise Sauce

Recipe #302911 | 7 min | 2 min prep | SERVES 4 , 3/4 cup (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: grumblebee

Love bearnaise sauce but are watching the calories? Even if you aren't a health nut, cutting back on saturated fats and extra calories is a good idea for most. This recipe takes the classic taste of bearnaise and makes it lower in fat and calories. The taste is familiar and velvety smooth, but better on your waistline! How can you go wrong there?
