Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use whole-grain mustard instead of Dijon?

Sure can! It adds a slightly different texture but still tastes delicious.

Can I substitute milk for the cream?

You can, but the sauce will be thinner and less rich. I definitely recommend cream.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely! Just keep whisking to maintain a smooth texture.
