Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • Butter 500g
  • Egg yolks 2
  • Onion 1/4
  • Parsley stems 2
  • Whole black peppercorns 5
  • Bay leaf 1
  • Water 2 tbsp
  • Lemon juice 1 tbsp
  • Vinegar 1 tsp

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slowly melt the butter in a double boiler, let the milk solids settle, then separate only the clear clarified butter oil on top.
  2. In a saucepan, add water, lemon juice, vinegar, chopped onion, parsley stems, whole peppercorns, and bay leaf. Boil to infuse the flavors, then strain, keeping only the liquid.
  3. Place egg yolks in a bowl, remove the chalaza thoroughly, then gradually add the strained liquid while mixing gently.
  4. Place the bowl with the yolks over a double boiler of warm water, maintaining a consistent temperature, and stir gently.
  5. Very slowly drizzle the prepared clarified butter in a thin stream while whisking rapidly to create an emulsion.
  6. Continue whisking until the butter is fully incorporated and the sauce reaches a thick, smooth consistency.
  1. Melt the butter and separate the clear clarified butter oil.
  2. Make an infusion by boiling water, vinegar, lemon juice, onion, and spices, then strain.
  3. Mix egg yolks with the strained liquid and warm over a double boiler while stirring.
  4. Gradually add the clarified butter while whisking rapidly to achieve the desired consistency.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Be sure to thoroughly remove the chalaza from the egg yolks to prevent the sauce from curdling and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Adding too much clarified butter at once can cause the oil and yolks to separate, so always add it little by little while mixing.
  • Be careful with the temperature of the double boiler; if it is too high, the eggs may cook, so adjust the heat carefully.
