Egg Recipe
Description
This simple egg-based sauce combines the richness of room-temperature butter with the stability of xanthan gum for a silky, emulsified texture that is hard to beat. The egg yolk provides a deep, custardy flavor, while the xanthan gum ensures the sauce stays thick and glossy without breaking, even if it sits for a moment. It is an excellent companion for poached eggs, asparagus, or steamed greens. The preparation is straightforward, requiring no double boiler or constant whisking, making it a reliable weeknight upgrade. The result is a luxurious, comforting condiment that adds a professional touch to everyday meals with minimal effort and common pantry ingredients.Ingredients
