30 Second Béarnaise Sauce
Authentic French Béarnaise ~ one of the world's great sauces that anyone can make!
Servings: 1 cup
Equipment
- immersion blender
- jar that fits the heat of the immersion blender (not too wide)
Ingredients
- 3 large egg yolks*
- 1 Tbsp dry white wine
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp minced shallot
- 3 small sprigs chervil
- 6 tarragon leaves
- 1/4 tsp each, salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Put everything but the butter into a jar that just fits the head of your immersion blender. There should not be too much room to spare. This is important because it allows the blender to concentrate its blending power for the perfect emulsion.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
- Put the head of the blender on the bottom of the jar and blend briefly just to combine everything. Then, with the blender going, drizzle the hot melted butter into the jar, wiggling the blender up down and around to get everything evenly blended. Once all the butter is in give it a final blend just to make sure its all thick and glossy.
- Taste your sauce to adjust the seasonings, if needed.
- The sauce can be used right away: Béarnaise sauce is usually served warm or at room temperature. It can also be refrigerated and gently reheated for later.
