Beurre Blanc

Beurre Blanc

Time: 10 minutes

Beurre blanc is a classic French butter sauce made by reducing white wine and shallots, then whisking in cold butter for a silky, tangy finish. It's an elegant, versatile sauce that’s especially delicious spooned over roasted fish, shellfish ravioli, or even soft scrambled eggs for a rich, restaurant-worthy touch.

INGREDIENTS

Yield: 4 servings

  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 shallot
  • 8 ounces unsalted butter
  • 30 grams caviar

PREPARATION

Step 1

Keep the butter very cold and in the fridge until you are ready to use it later in the recipe.

Step 2

Chop shallots and add to a sauce pan with the dry white wine.

Step 3

Allow the shallots to simmer in the white wine until the wine reduces by half.

Step 4

Once reduced, remove the pan from the heat.

Step 5

Once it has stopped bubbling, put a few cubes of the butter in the pan and stir constantly.

Step 6

Keep adding butter until you get the thickness you desire. Make sure to keep stirring until it is close to room temperature to prevent the emulsion from breaking.

Step 7

Finish with a spoonful of caviar and stir with a spatula.
