Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Reduction
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, dry white wine, and chopped shallots. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and let it simmer until reduced to about 2 tablespoons of liquid, approximately 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain to discard solids.
Make the Sauce
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the strained reduction. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume, about 5-7 minutes.
Incorporate Butter
Gradually drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is thick and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water to adjust the consistency.
Season the Sauce
Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped tarragon and chervil.
Serve
Serve immediately or keep warm by placing the bowl in a warm (not hot) area until ready to serve.
