Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a heatproof bowl placed over a saucepan with simmering water.
In the top of the double boiler or the heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Place the double boiler or the bowl over the simmering water, ensuring that the bottom doesn't touch the water.
Whisk the mixture continuously and vigorously for about 2 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until the sauce becomes smooth, silky, and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the sauce from heat and taste. Adjust the seasoning with salt and lemon juice according to your preference.
If not using immediately, keep the Hollandaise sauce warm by placing it in a heatproof bowl over a bowl of warm water.
