  • To make the sauce, boil down the wine, vinegar, sliced shallot, a bunch of tarragon leaves, a little salt and a few black peppercorns in a pan to 2 to 3 tablespoons. Strain and leave to cool. Whisk the egg yolks with the wine and vinegar reduction over a bain-marie, then drizzle in the melted clarified butter and whisk until creamy. Whip the cream until not quite stiff and carefully fold in. Season to taste and finish with some finely chopped tarragon.
  • Blanch the cleaned asparagus in lightly salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain, dry and coat in eggs and breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in plenty of oil at 175 °C until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately with the sauce, garnished with freshly picked tarragon.
