Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large egg yolks
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Zest and juice of 1 orange
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch leeks, trimmed, separated and rinsed in water to remove dirt and sand
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 pound fresh asparagus

Steps:

  • For the mousseline sauce: Place the egg yolks and citrus juices in a bowl over simmering water or in a double boiler. Cook, whisking, until thick and frothy with a ribbonlike texture, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the leeks: Thinly slice the leeks into matchsticks. Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the leeks and saute until translucent and soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the asparagus: Bring a medium saucepan filled with cold water to a simmer, then add the salt. Cut the tough ends from the bottoms of the asparagus and peel the stalks. Blanch the asparagus in the simmering water for 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, add ice to a medium mixing bowl filled with cold water. Add the blanched asparagus to the ice water to stop the cooking. Once the asparagus have chilled, remove from the ice water and pat dry.
  • Arrange the leeks on a serving platter. Lay the asparagus on top. Glaze the asparagus with the mousseline sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

I'm giving this recipe one star because it's the lowest rating I can give. I would never make this again.

This is the worst mousseline I've ever had. It was bland, lumpy, and overcooked.

This recipe is way too complicated. I spent hours in the kitchen, and the end result wasn't even that good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mousseline didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected.

This recipe was too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my mousseline turned out lumpy. I think I overcooked the asparagus.

This is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had a bunch of asparagus that was about to go bad, and this recipe saved the day.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with different types of cheese, and I've even added some cooked shrimp. It's always delicious.

This asparagus mousseline was a delightful dish! The flavors of the asparagus, cream, and cheese blended together perfectly, and the texture was light and fluffy. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes, and it was a hit with my family.
