Creolaise Sauce image

What if you seasoned hollandaise with a spicy Creole mustard? You'd get this sauce, which Marion Burros brought to The Times in 1983, part of a piece on Cajun cooking. In it, she highlighted Chez Marcelle in Broussard, where Marcelle Bienvenu served this particular sauce alongside stuffed crabs, one of the restaurant's specialties. But the sauce can stand on its own, as a stand-in for regular hollandaise. Pair it with eggs, or asparagus, for a bit more kick than the original.
