Beurre Blanc is a classic French sauce made primarily from butter, white wine, and shallots. The name translates to "white butter," reflecting its creamy texture and pale color. It is typically prepared by reducing white wine and shallots until almost dry, then whisking in cold butter to create a rich, emulsified sauce. This sauce is often served with fish, seafood, or vegetables, enhancing their flavors with its tangy and buttery profile. Beurre Blanc can be flavored with herbs, citrus, or vinegar, allowing for variations that complement different dishes while maintaining its signature richness.
