Ingredients

• 2 large Egg yolks
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 45 milliliters Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 60 milliliters Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.13 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk the mixture constantly to prevent curdling.

Step 3

Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes or until it thickens to a custard-like consistency and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately stir in the unsalted butter piece by piece until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes before stirring in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve chilled with your Waldorf salad or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
