3 Add melted butter slowly to the egg mixture while blending.
4 Add the Cream a bit at a time and blend until just mixed in. Do NOT thin the sauce to much.
NOTE:
1 You can use any of the following herbs Dried Tarragon, Dill or Chives.
2 The melted butter should be (60 to 63ºC) when adding to the egg yolk mixture.
3 If the sauce is to thick then thin it out a Teaspoon at a time with water or cream
or some thing thin of some sort.
4 If the Bearnaise sauce thickens up too much as it sits, whisk in a tablespoon or two of hot water (NOT Boiling) or some more cream.
5 To keep the sauce warm keep it in a bowl and sit it over a warm saucepan (NOT BOILING) of water.
WARNING: A lot of blogs say just throw the extra away because of the egg yolks, though you maybe able to reheat if your inclined too as below.
Reheating Bearnaise:
Exert from Chef Talk Blog:
Over the weekend I did a search on google about “how to reheat hollandaise” and up popped my post first thing. So I had some hollandaise left over in the fridge and I didn’t want to throw it out. To me, hollandaise is expensive stuff with all the yolks and butter in it! When I first posted this I believe I threw out my perfectly good hollandaise because I didn’t want to reheat it. But this time I stuck it in the microwave. Heated for 5sec and stirred. Another 5sec and stirred. I did this about 4 times until the hollandaise was warm. It didn’t split, it held together and it was delicious the next day. So, there is a way. I stopped using cornstarch long ago though, don’t do that anymore.
