When the lardons are nicely done, add 200 ml liquid cream and 2 tablespoons Mustard, mix and deglaze the bottom of the pan.

Remarks
A slurp of Noilly Prat in with the cream adds extra interest to the sauce.

You will see that the mustard is an effective thickening agent, meaning you will not have long to wait at stage 3.
