My Easy Mousseline Sauce
Serves : 4 people
Preparation : 5 minutes
Cooking : 15 minutes
Ingredients
-
3 vinegar
-
10 white pepper
-
3 egg yolks
-
4.4 oz of butter
-
3.5 oz of crème fraîche
Instructions
Coarsely crush the white peppercorns in a mortar.
Place them in a small saucepan with the vinegar.
Reduce over high heat, then turn off the heat when only a spoonful of liquid remains.
Let cool.
Whisk the egg yolks and stir them into the cooled reduction.
Place this saucepan in a double boiler, inside a larger pot filled with hot water (but not boiling).
Cut the butter into small pieces and gradually stir them into the egg yolks, whisking the mixture constantly while keeping it over a low heat in a double boiler.
When the sauce reaches the consistency of mayonnaise, lightly whip the crème fraîche and stir it into the mousseline sauce.
Serve immediately.

- Place the butter cut into pieces, the cream, the egg yolks, salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of vinegar into a small saucepan all at once.
