orsola, thre are some (French) mustards (like Maille) that have herbs but you can use regular Dijon. You can use whatever herbs you fancy but obviously, Chervil is the obvious choice here. As for the crème fraîche's carbs counts, at 16 tablespoons per cup, yours would put it at 8 ECC per cup. Obviously, the counts were rounded whereas I got mine from the USDA. Still, that's only 1.8 difference!
