Bernaise Sauce

Bernaise Sauce

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 large egg yolks, beaten
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp minced onion
  • 1 tsp dried tarragon
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 pinch dry mustard

Instructions

  1. Begin by melting your butter in a microwave-safe glass bowl. A quick burst of about 30 seconds on high power should do the trick.
  2. Once melted, incorporate the egg yolks, heavy cream, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, and onion, giving it a good whisk to ensure everything is well blended.
  3. Now, season your mixture with tarragon, parsley, salt, mustard powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper, mixing again to distribute the flavors.
  4. Return the bowl to the microwave, heating in short bursts of 20 to 30 seconds, stirring between each interval, until the sauce thickens. This should take roughly 1 and a half minutes.
  5. Enjoy!

Note: This sauce is excellent served alongside a variety of proteins, meats, eggs, and vegetables.
