Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1 3/4 tablespoons of heavy cream is low in lactose. This recipe contains only about 3 teaspoons per serving, making it likely fine on a lactose free diet. If you prefer to always avoid heavy cream, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp dijon mustard
¼ tsp kosher salt

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
