Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine the white wine, white wine vinegar, and minced shallots. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Gradually add the cold butter, a few cubes at a time, constantly stirring until the butter is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to let the sauce boil, or it will break.
  • Season the sauce with salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Serve the beurre blanc sauce immediately, or keep it warm over a double boiler until ready to serve.

Notes

The sauce can be served with fish, shellfish, vegetables, or any other dish where you want to add a rich and creamy flavor. Enjoy!
