    ⅔ cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Whole grain mustard, 2 teaspoon parsley

Notes

You can freeze leftovers in a freezer bag or other airtight container, for up to 6 months. Cream sauces do sometimes change consistency when frozen and reheated, so keep this in mind. To use frozen sauce, allow to thaw overnight in the fridge or in a cool water bath. To reheat, you will likely need to add more cream or broth (about ¼ cup) to reconstitute the sauce. Just whisk in additional liquid when you reheat.
If you don't have whole grain mustard, you can double the Dijon mustard used.
