How to make it

  • Break off the tough woody ends from the asparagus, steam the Asparagus until tender.
  • Place the egg yolks in a small bowl over a pan of simmering water.
  • Whisk together until slightly thickened taking care that the bowl does not become too hot or the sauce will curdle.
  • Whisking constantly add the butter a little at a time, allowing each piece to become incorporated before adding the next.
  • When all the butter has been added the sauce should be thick and smooth.
  • Remove from the heat add the herbs and season to taste.
  • Arrange the asparagus onto 4 serving plates and spoon some of the sauce over the center of the asparagus spears,
  • serve at once.
