Recipe substitution

[Mary.Poppins]

OK..so my recipe calls for dry mustard. I'm all out. Can I use
prepared yellow mustard as a substitute?

First off what are you making?

I personally think yellow mustard has a totally different taste.

Prepared yellow mustard usually has extra flavorings in it. Often garlic as well as some other spices. Using it might affect the flavor of your recipe slightly. If you don't care about that then I dont' see why not.

Oh, you should also adjust your other liquids to compensate for the extra liquid in the mustard.

Yeah...I'm a bit worried about that. I'm making an egg dish.
You know the kinds that sits over night in the refrigerator. Made with
bread, eggs & cheese....

I would just skip it. Or pick another herb that you like-

 

[HERSEY]

I often add a little curry powder to my eggs. I really like the flavor.
You can skip the dry mustard all together or a little dijon would work also.

I think I'll just skip it...I've been to the store too many times today already

I make a dish that sounds similar to what I make and it calls for dry mustard I leave it out. To me it is better without it. My recipe calls for sausage and I tend to use the sweet sausage and it makes it a whole lot better.

I never add the dry mustard to my egg casserole, even though the recipe calls for it. I've never missed the taste, but then I'm not a big mustard fan anyway!
The good news is everyone loves it anyway! Leave it out and don't give it another thought
