This Creamy Dijon Sauce is light and flavorful accompaniment to dishes like savory bread pudding, crepes or my recipe for Ham and Gruyere Baked French Toast.

Ingredients

Units Scale

FOR THE SAUCE:

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt PLUS
  • 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground White or Black Pepper
  • Chopped Fresh Chives for Garnish (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a small saute or sauce pan.
  2. Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, and gradually whisk in the milk.  The mixture will become very thick. 
  4. Continue cooking over low heat and slowly whisk in the broth.
  5. Once the mixture is combined and smooth, raise the heat source to medium-low and bring up to a low boil.
  6. As soon as the first signs of bubbles appear, reduce the heat back down to low and simmer the sauce for 3 minutes, while whisking.  
  7. Whisk in the mustard, salt and pepper and simmer just until heated through, about 1 minute.
  8. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a tablespoon of broth one tablespoon at a time in order to thin until desired thickness is acquired.
