add fresh basil last... enjoy!

Blanc

butter, butter, butter,

chopped onions, dark mushrooms, 

heavy whipping cream, gouda, creme fraiche,

basil mustard, Riesling, fresh basil 

Order of operations:

start with butter, saute onions, 

add in sliced mushrooms (don't know the name of them but they are 

much darker than regular ones and have more of a meaty flavor.. like a truffle)

add liquid cream and let cook

add gouda (parmesan probably works too)

let cheese melt in to liquid

add creme fraiche (aka fancy sour cream)

let melt

let simmer

season to taste

add a bit of basil mustard and a bit of white wine

(Riesling is nice because of it's sweetness)

(nutmeg would probably be nice if you have some)

let simmer into super tasty, creamy, relatively thick sauce

enjoy!!
