Hollandaise
- Then add the water and vinegar reduction and whisk.
- Place the gastric, egg yolks, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk in a double boiler until fluffy and cooked through. When the egg mixture shimmers like a pudding, it's done.

- Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, then add the melted butter in a thin stream.
- Continue whisking until the sauce is thick and glossy.
- Season with salt and pepper if needed. Keep warm in a bain-marie or thermos.
