Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup crumbled bleu cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and just starting to bubble.
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking continuously to create a smooth paste (roux). Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove any raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, and then add the heavy cream. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled bleu cheese. Mix gently until the cheese melts and incorporates into the sauce, creating a creamy, smooth consistency.
Add the garlic powder, black pepper, and optional salt. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over steaks, burgers, pasta, roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for wings.
