Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk eggs in, one at a time; whisk thoroughly.
- Add sugar, butter, and salt; keep stirring for about 5 minutes.
- Ensure not to overcook to prevent curdling of eggs.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a double boiler when cooking the mustard to prevent direct heat from curdling the eggs. If tarragon vinegar is unavailable, white wine vinegar can serve as a substitute. Adjust the sweetness by using less sugar or a natural sweetener like honey. Always whisk the eggs thoroughly to ensure a smooth consistency in your mustard.
Serving Suggestions
This gourmet mustard pairs beautifully with grilled meats, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards. It can also enhance salads, especially when drizzled over greens with Cottage Cheese Dressing. For a delightful brunch, serve alongside Nina'S Speedy Rolls for a flavorful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover gourmet mustard in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to two weeks. To reheat, place the mustard in a saucepan over low heat, stirring gently until warmed through. Avoid boiling to maintain the flavor and texture.
