Ingredients:

• 2 ea. Egg yolks

• 12 oz. Butter

• ¼ tsp Tabasco

• ¼ oz. Tarragon, chopped

• 4 oz. White wine vinegar 

• ¼ cup Water, cold

1. Place the butter in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave, about 30 seconds on high.

2. Place a stainless steel mixing bowl over a pot with water to form a double boiler.  Add the vinegar and yolks to the bowl.  

4. Set the heat on medium low. Whisk rapidly until the yolks begin to come to a soft peak, about 6 to 8 minutes. Slowly drizzle in the butter, whisking constantly, alternating with the cold water as needed to thin the emulsification. Do this until all of the butter is incorporated.

5. Fold in the chopped tarragon, add Tabasco and transfer to a container, hold warm for service.
