Ingredients
Scale
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups whole or 2% milk
4 tablespoons Dijon or spicy brown mustard
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
- Make a Roux: Sprinkle the flour into the butter while continuously whisking to form a smooth paste. Cook for about 1 minute until lightly browned.
- Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Season and Flavor: Stir in the mustard, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until the sauce is smooth and fully combined.
- Serve: Spoon generously over hot Chicken Cordon Bleu for a restaurant-worthy finish
Notes
Use freshly grated cheese for best flavor and texture.
Adjust mustard to taste or omit for a milder sauce.
Sauce thickens upon cooling—add milk when reheating if needed.
Not freezer-friendly due to dairy content.
