A really nice starter to any meal, this was a favourite down at Kimber Cottage especially when using home grown asparagus.
Break off the tough woody ends from the asparagus, steam the asparagus until tender.
Place the egg yolks in a small bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk together until slightly thickened taking care that the bowl does not become too hot or the sauce will curdle.
Whisking canstantly add the butter a little at a time, allowing each piece to become incorporated before adding the next.
When all the butter has been added the sauce should be thick and smooth. Remove from the heat add the herbs and season to taste.
Arrange the asparagus onto 4 serving plates and spoon some of the sauce over the center of the asparagus spears, serve at once.
