Bearnaise Sauce

Recipe from AllRecipes.com

YIELD: Serves 6 - 8

TIME: 15 minutes

We love the 15 minute foolproof saucepan technique for Grandmother McKinney's Hollandaise, but this Bearnaise is well suited to the blender method! Delish!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons white wine

• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon

• ½ teaspoon minced onion or shallot

• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

• ½ cup butter

• 3 egg yolks

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Preparation:

Step 1

Combine wine, vinegar, tarragon, onion, and black pepper in a skillet; bring to a boil and cook until almost all the liquid is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2

Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until fully melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 3

Place tarragon mixture, egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper in a blender; pulse until combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Remove the small hole cover from lid; stream butter into egg mixture while blender is running until sauce is completely blended and smooth.
