Creamy Dijon Sauce

Rich, smooth, and packed with flavor, this creamy Dijon sauce is the perfect companion for chicken, beef, pork, fish, and even vegetables—salads included! The bold yet balanced combination of Dijon mustard with garlic and a touch of honey adds a delicious depth to any dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/2 tsp Kosher or sea salt (or to taste)

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp dried thyme

• 1/4 tsp mustard powder

• 1/4 tsp honey

• 1/2 tsp lemon juice

• 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional, for a thinner sauce)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the garlic: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. Add the cream and Dijon: Pour in heavy cream and Dijon mustard, whisking to combine.

3. Simmer: Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.

4. Season: Stir in salt, black pepper, thyme, mustard powder, honey and lemon juice (if using). If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth to reach your desired consistency.
