- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup cider vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon tarragon, dried
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 2 egg yolks (large eggs)
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
directions
- Combine vinegar, white wine, onion, tarragon and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and allow liquid to reduce by half.
- Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the egg yolks. Immediately start whisking in butter, a little at a time, until all the butter is incorporated.
- Add lemon juice, to taste.
- If your sauce is too thin, add more butter. If too thick, add lemon juice.
- If you make it ahead and your sauce "breaks" whisk in a few drops of water to make it smooth again. This works for broken Hollandaise as well.
