Name: Mustard-Cream Sauce
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Serves 6 to 8 (Makes about 1 cup)
Ingredients: 1/2 cup sour cream; 1/2 cup heavy cream; 2 egg yolks; 5 teaspoons Dijon mustard; 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar; 1/4 teaspoon table salt; 1/8 teaspoon sugar; 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Why This Recipe Works

A combination of heavy cream and sour cream provided, a rich, flavorful base for our Mustard-Cream sauce. Tasters preferred the bold, nose-tingling heat of Dijon mustard to other varieties.

Instructions

Whisk sour cream, heavy cream, yolks, mustard, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and sugar together in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until sauce thickens and coats back of spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately transfer to serving bowl, stir in chives, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
