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.

    Next time, I think I will use a double boiler, I'm a bit nervous about microwaves.

    I substituted dried chervil for the parsley and it was amazing! So glad I found this recipe.

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