Asparagus

Bearnaise Sauce

Toasted Panko

Method

Prepare Asparagus

  1. 1

    Roast the Asparagus

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the asparagus ends and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender.

Make Bearnaise Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, shallot, and tarragon. Simmer until reduced by half. Strain the mixture and reserve the liquid. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and reserved liquid over a double boiler until thickened. Gradually whisk in melted butter until emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper.

Prepare Toasted Panko

  1. 3

    Toast the Panko

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Serve

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Place the roasted asparagus on a serving platter, drizzle with bearnaise sauce, and sprinkle with toasted panko before serving.
