02 Step

In a microwave-safe glass bowl, melt the cubed butter in the microwave on high power. This should take about 30 seconds, but watch carefully to prevent splattering. (30 seconds)
03 Step

Whisk in the egg yolks, heavy cream, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, and minced shallot until well combined. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Season generously with tarragon, parsley, salt, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. (1 minute)
05 Step
Recipe View
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring vigorously after each burst, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes around 1 1/2 minutes total. Be careful not to overcook, as the eggs can scramble. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove from the microwave and let rest for 1 minutes, continue to stir. Serve immediately and enjoy!
For an even smoother sauce, consider using clarified butter.
If you don't have a microwave, you can use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Just be sure the bowl doesn't touch the water.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A touch more lemon juice can brighten the flavor, while a pinch more salt can enhance the overall taste.
Bearnaise sauce is best served immediately. If you need to keep it warm, place the bowl in a warm water bath, but be careful not to overheat it.
Fresh tarragon, if available, is a delightful substitute for dried tarragon. Use about 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon.

Apr 7, 2023My sauce separated a bit, but I whisked in a tiny bit of cold water and it came right back together. Thanks for the tips!
