3 egg yolks  
Bearnaise Sauce  
2/3 c. melted  
butter (unsalted)  
Wonderful with steamed artichokes.  
1 T. dried tarragon  
1/4 c. dry white  
Combine wine, vermouth, shallot and tarragon in small  
saucepan. Boil down to half of the original quantity  
wine or white wine  
vinegar with  
tarragon  
(
approximately 1/4 cup should remain). Strain. Put egg  
yolks in cold double boiler. Water in double boiler should  
not touch bottom of upper pan. Beat with flat bottomed  
whisk until they look creamy and lemony. Over medium  
heat, slowly add melted butter while continuously stirring.  
1/4 c. dry  
vermouth  
1/2 chopped shallot  
white pepper  
When all butter has been added, immediately add strained  
tarragon mixture (do not overcook once butter has been  
added). Adding tarragon mixture will make the sauce very  
thin. Continue stirring and cooking over medium to low  
heat until sauce starts to thicken. Do not let sauce get too  
thick; it will continue to thicken once removed from heat.  
Add a few shakes of white pepper to taste. Remove from  
heat immediately. Serves 2.
