Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling.
Add the flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it brown.
Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while whisking to ensure no lumps form. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and heat through, about 2 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the sauce from the heat and serve warm over your choice of protein or vegetables.
