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 Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and heat through, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from the heat and serve warm over your choice of protein or vegetables.
