- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and cook like a sabayon.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter, a little piece at a time.
- Season with salt and Espelette pepper and add the lemon juice.
Note
To make this sauce, cook slowly over a bain-marie, whisking vigorously. It is perfect when the mixture adheres to the bowl.
In the end, it is a sabayon emulsified with melted butter.
