- Add 1 Tablespoon of olive to a large skillet or fry pan. Heat the pan over medium heat until olive oil sizzles.

Notes
Premade substitutes – If you’re looking for premade sauce vs homemade creamy mustard sauce I recommend using a mustard sauce with similar ingredients. Such as this gluten free Sweet BBQ Mustard Sauce.
