Dijon Cream Sauce

Dijon cream sauce is a simple sauce consisting of reduced heavy cream and mustard. It’s a tasty sauce with chicken, beef, pork, fish, or even alongside or on top of vegetables.

This is a sauce I learned to make decades ago at a restaurant I worked at. A few simple common ingredients and an easy technique will render a great-tasting everyday sauce to serve to friends and family.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Cream – You will need heavy whipping cream for this recipe.
• Mustard – I use a combination of yellow, Dijon, and whole-grain mustard. However, you can use Dijon mustard.
• Seasoning – Sea salt is all you will need. The mustard will provide plenty of spice to balance out the sauce.

How to Make Dijon Cream Sauce

Add the cream to a medium-size saucepot and cook over medium-low heat while whisking constantly.

It will become very thick. Think alfredo sauce.

Stir in the different mustards and salt and serve.
