This Mushroom Brandy Cream Sauce is so versatile it will go well with beef, pork, poultry and even shrimp!This simple sauce will take your meal to the next level.
I served it originally with Schnitzel. In European restaurants you see all kinds of schnitzel variations with mushroom sauce, fried eggs etc. I usually pass, preferring a plain schnitzel with a wedge of lemon.
That might change from now on…..
Try it for yourself !
