Instructions

  1. Cook the shallots. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, whisk for 30 seconds, then add the wine and vinegar and continue whisking until the liquid is almost completely reduced (about 2 tablespoons of liquid remaining).
  2. Make it creamy. Add the cream and salt and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium low, add the remaining butter a few pieces at a time, while whisking rapidly and continuously.
  3. Strain. Strain the buerre blanc sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to discard the shallot, pressing on top with a spoon to extract all the juices and flavor.
  4. Serve. Serve the beurre blanc sauce immediately while warm.

Notes

  • ½ cup of sauce. 
  • This recipe makes about ½ cup of sauce. 
  • If you prefer a chunkier sauce, you can keep the shallots in the sauce and not strain it. 
  • Serve this sauce immediately. As soon as it starts to cool, beurre blanc thickens into a buttery paste. This also makes the sauce better served fresh rather than making it ahead of time.
  • If you do happen to have leftovers and would like to store it in the fridge for a few days, you can do so. Just know that it will separate a bit and be thinner on reheating (though still delicious).
