Dijon Cream Sauce

Whenever I make this sauce my husband always says "Yes! You're making the sauce!!". Needless to say I make this for a lot of different dishes. It's so simple yet it tastes so decadent and can be used for a plethora of dishes.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 heaping tsp of Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp of ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp of thyme (optional; I add or omit it depending on the flavors of the meat I'm working with)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
Direction

In a heavy sauce pan, whisk all ingredients together and heat over medium-low heat. Let the sauce reduce by half and serve hot.
