Difference Between Hollandaise and Bearnaise Sauce
French emulsified sauces Hollandaise and Béarnaise differ in ingredients and taste. Hollandaise goes with eggs Benedict, vegetables, and fish, while Béarnaise goes with beef and steak. Béarnaise sauce adds shallots, tarragon vinegar, and fresh tarragon to Hollandaise’s egg yolks, butter, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Shallots and tarragon give Béarnaise sauce more flavour.
