Recipe View Stir in the chopped fresh sage and thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately.

For a vegan version, substitute olive oil for butter, use plant-based cream (such as oat or cashew cream), and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
A pinch of nutmeg or cloves can also be added for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more broth or cream to thin it out.
This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a little broth or cream if needed to restore the desired consistency.
