Other recipes I haven't tried this yet, but modified from the Hollandaise sauce recipe.

Bearnaise sauce for two

Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 17.5ml white wine vinegar.
  • A very small amount of onion
  • A pinch of tarragon
  • 1.5oz butter, melted (about 10secs in the microwave on medium power)

Directions

  1. Fry onion in vinegar with tarragon, once cooked drain the onions keeping the liquid.
  2. Put yolks and herbs in blender and start up machine on a minimum speed.
  3. Add vinegar stock.
  4. Melt butter in microwave until fully melted but not spitting. 10 secs in an E rated microwave on medium or so.
  5. Blend the egg mixture on a high speed in a fixed blender for 10 seconds or so then add the butter slowly.

The heat from the butter will cook the eggs and create a smooth, glossy mixture ideal for fish or asparagus or a fresh green salad. If raw eggs are a concern, add 15ml boiling water to ensure egg yolks are cooked.

(If keen to save washing up, use a hand blender, but it does feel like you need four hands to coordinate this!)

Serve as soon as it is ready.
