Bearnaise Sauce Recipe - Recipe for Crepes

Our creamy bearnaise sauce recipe is an easy and delicious topping for your favorite main dish crepe recipes. Try with steak and eggs over crepes or any of our vegetable crepe recipes. bearnaise sauce over steak and egg crepes Bearnaise sauce is a cousin of hollandaise, a mild and buttery sauce used to flavor eggs, meats and vegetables.

Bearnaise is a bit fancier, however, because it's dressed up with the flavor of tarragon.

But don't be deceived by the sophisticated taste— this recipe is unbelievably easy!

Ingredients:

  • ¼ white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp of minced fresh tarragon leaves (or 1 tsp of dried)
  • 1 tbsp of minced shallots or white onion
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 4 tbsp of butter
  • salt and pepper

Combine vinegar, tarragon and shallots in small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce to 1 tbsp of liquid.

Melt butter in microwave, and set aside. Place egg yolks in blender and mix on highest speed. Through the hole in the lid, with the blender still set on high, slowly stream in the vinegar-herb-shallot mixture and butter to the eggs. The mixture will thicken into the consistency of cream. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately over crepes.

Yield: ¾ cup
