    Creamy Mushroom Sauce

    Depending on the region in Germany you will order “Jägerschnitzel” in a restaurant you will get a dark, rich mushroom gravy or a creamy mushroom gravy with or without bacon.

    All three of these gravy variations are most common served with a breaded schnitzel. But you will find Jägerschnitzel also served with an unbreaded schnitzel, called “Schnitzel Natur” or “Unpaniertes Schnitzel”.

    Serving Tip

    Besides serving this gravy with schnitzels you can serve it over bread dumplings as another traditional dish called “Rahmschwammerl”. This makes also a wonderful vegetarian main dish if you leave out the bacon.
