Mushroom Brandy Cream Sauce

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 !

Chef’s Note

Do not substitute lower fat cream for the whipping cream or the sauce will separate when you are reducing it.
