Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
• ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 5 slices turkey bacon
• ¼ cup Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Stock
• 2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
• 2 pounds fresh whole green beans, trimmed
• ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place turkey bacon in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook to desired crispness, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Chop bacon into small pieces.

Step 2

Mix Swanson® Chicken Stock, cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, 30 seconds.

Step 3

Place water in the bottom of a double boiler; water should not touch the bottom of the top pan. Bring water to a boil. Lightly beat egg yolks in the top of the double boiler. Cook, stirring until thickened and egg yolks are about double in volume, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in stock/cream mixture, whisking until completely combined. Mix thoroughly for another minute. Season with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat and cover to keep sauce warm.

Step 5

Set a steamer basket insert into a large saucepan. Pour in Swanson® Chicken Broth to just below the bottom of the steamer; bring to a boil. Add green beans, season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Discard leftover chicken broth or reserve for another use.

Step 6

Transfer beans to a serving dish; sprinkle with bacon crumbles. Top with hollandaise sauce and serve.
