Basic Beurre Blanc recipe from the World's Premier Culinary College

[TheDave000]

I love the idea of cream as a stabilizing agent. Im a self taught home cook, and I find beurre blanc one of the harder sauces in my repertoire. Sometimes it just separates and is a disaster, and as I usually make my sauces when I need them, ie when everything else is almost done.

If I can make my chances of success a little higher, a little cream sounds good to me! And there was me thinking a beurre blanc was already one of the unhealthiest things I could cook already... Now where's that cod..

Even the french add the cream, but i would of sauteed the shallots first, then deglace with the wine

[foosbeast]

@COJred1 typically shallots aren't sauteed in a beurre blanc

[DoctorZetchMD]

@COJred1 You're aiming to incorporate the aromatic properties of the shallots into the wine reduction. The closer to sec you get, the more concentrated these flavors become.

Speaking with 12 years experience in commercial kitchens I can say that this is a fantastic recipe. Sure it is not the traditional Beurre Blanc but adding the cream is great if you need this sauce over service time rather than just making it a la minute. I make mine a little different to this but this is a great variation and I definitely will give this a go.

Nice demonstration and apparently a good technique. BUT - he didn't make a proper "beurre blanc." He made a beurre nantais as he used cream as a stabilizing agent. A proper beurre blanc does not use cream.

Trust me, KFed knows his fatty foods!

@KFED04 He's a CMC, there is different variations

I had this chef for AM Pantry and really enjoyed his class.
