Sausages with Mustard Cream
Yield: 4-6 servings
Cook Time: 10-15 minutes
Tips: Mustard Cream may be made in advance and stored in air-tight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Suggestion: Chicken, pork, fish and vegetables also taste delicious with Mustard Cream.
Sausages with Mustard Cream is a surprisingly delicious main course and/or appetizer recipe (to see the Appetizer version of this recipe, click the far left image below) that features grilled smoked or other sausages served with
a creamy mustard dipping sauce made with whipping cream, Dijon mustard, prepared horseradish, white wine vinegar, egg yolks and a hint of sugar. The cream is actually whipped into stiff peaks, then folded into the other ingredients that have been quickly whisked over simmering water in a double boiler or bowl. The whipped cream helps to create a smooth and creamy texture and a very elegant sauce that presents itself beautifully (and tastes just as fabulous!).
If you don't have time to fire up the outdoor grill, you can also broil these sausages in your oven. Any type of smoked sausage or kielbasa will work beautifully accompanied by the Mustard Cream sauce, including turkey, chicken, beef or pork (above photo shows this dish made with smoked turkey sausage). Whether grilled or broiled or served as a main course or appetizer, this sausage dish promises to be a huge hit!

Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2 lbs. fully cooked sausages, such as knockwurst, kielbasa (Polish Sausages) or smoked links
Directions
In the top of a double boiler over simmering water (alternatively, in a heat-proof bowl placed over a saucepan), heat together eggs yolks, sugar, mustard, vinegar, water, horseradish, and butter. Whisk until mixture thickens (3-5 minutes). Remove top boiler (or bowl) from heat and place in a large bowl of ice water, whisking or stirring constantly until mixture has thoroughly cooled. Remove from ice water and set aside.
Beat whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks. Fold cooled mustard mixture into cream until completely blended and cover and store in refrigerator. (Tip: If made ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.)
Arrange sausages on a lightly greased grill 4 to 6 inches above a hot bed of coals. Cook, turning until well-browned on all sides and hot throughout (5-10 minutes). Cut sausages into desired serving sizes and drizzle over top with Mustard Cream Sauce.
