Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Blue cheese
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 15 grams Butter
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 5 grams Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly softened. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until well combined and warm.
Crumble the blue cheese into the saucepan and stir gently to combine. Allow the cheese to melt into the cream, stirring occasionally. This should take 2-3 minutes.
Once the sauce is smooth and creamy, season with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. Be careful not to over-season, as blue cheese is naturally salty.
Cook the sauce for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the blue cheese sauce warm over grilled steaks, juicy burgers, or roasted chicken. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
