  2. 2 Whisk egg yolks in a small heavy saucepan until light lemon yellow and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in1 to 1½ tablespoons lemon juice, depending on how tart you like your sauce.
  3. 3 Add 2 tablespoons cold butter to egg mixture. Place the pan over very low heat and whisk constantly until butter melts and mixture thickens enough to see the bottom of the pan between strokes. (If the mixture starts to thicken too quickly or look grainy, remove it from the heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon cold water.)
  4. 4 Remove the pan from heat. Whisk in remaining cold butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated and smooth.
  5. 5 Gradually whisk in the melted butter, adding just a few drops at first, then a slow, steady stream. Keep whisking vigorously to create a thick, smooth sauce. (If sauce becomes too thick, whisk in 1 teaspoon warm water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.)
  6. 6 Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

  1. 1 Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water and have it standing nearby.
  2. 2 Place basil leaves into boiling water and blanch until leaves are bright green and slightly soft, about 10 seconds. Remove basil leaves with a fine mesh strainer and place into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain basil, wrap in a paper towel, and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture.
  3. 3 Place egg yolks into a container with a base slightly larger than the base of a stick blender, such as a measuring cup or large beer glass. Add garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, basil leaves, and Dijon mustard to egg yolks. Pour vegetable oil over the top.
  4. 4 Push stick blender all the way to the bottom of the container. Pulse blender 6 or 8 times, about 1 second per time, until mixture begins to emulsify on the bottom. Once mayonnaise begins to form, raise the stick blender slightly in the container and continue to blend until all oil has run through the blender, mayonnaise is thick, and basil is finely chopped, 10 to 20 more seconds. Taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer to a bowl. Mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, for 2 to 3 days.

  1. 1 Place 1 cup of tarragon, shallots, and peppercorns in a saucepan. Pour in white wine vinegar, white wine, and water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer; stir. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer and reduce liquid to about 3 tablespoons, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing tarragon mixture to extract as much liquid as possible.
  2. 2 To make the compound butter: Place 1/4 cup chopped tarragon and capers in a mortar. Mash with a pestle for about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of cold butter. Mash and pound with a pestle until ingredients are thoroughly combined in a solid mass. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap; wrap and chill.
  3. 3 To make the Béarnaise sauce: Place egg yolks in a stainless steel (flameproof) mixing bowl; add 3 tablespoons tarragon/shallot reduction; whisk together. Add cold butter cubes. Place bowl over low to medium heat whisking constantly until sauce thickens, as you hold the bowl with a kitchen towel. After butter melts continue whisking; mixture will turn a lighter yellow color after 8 to 10 minutes. When mixture is nice and thick, reduce heat to low and stir in compound butter broken into chunks. Continue whisking. Remove from heat. Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
