This recipe uses the same technique as the mayonnaise recipe on the next page to make a lovely, light sauce that makes anything taste better--from a poached egg on toast to a platter of steamed broccoli. Make it often enough, and you just might eat more vegetables!
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 cup low-fat (1%) buttermilk, divided
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 egg
2 tablespoons reduced-fat brick-style cream cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter until fragrant and golden brown, about 1 minute (watch for burning); remove from the heat and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk 1/4 cup of the buttermilk with the cornstarch, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the egg and the remaining buttermilk; whisk constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and continue whisking until smooth and heated through, 1 minute; remove from the heat. Whisk in the lemon juice and the reserved melted butter. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave on high about 45 seconds, stirring once.
