These look really good but I don’t know what Creole Mustard is or what Mediterranean seasoning you would have used to get the same result. Could you please tell me the specifics? Thanks
Hi Sandra,
Creole mustard is found in the grocery isle near the regular yellow mustard, it’s a whole grain mustard similar to brown mustard in flavor. For Mediterranean seasoning you can just substitute Italian Seasoning blend.
