Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Blue cheese, crumbled
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Butter
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan, and stir well to combine with the melted butter and garlic.
Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat back to low, and add the crumbled blue cheese to the saucepan.
Stir continually until the blue cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take around 3-5 minutes.
Season the sauce with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
If using, stir in the finely chopped chives just before serving for added color and flavor.
Serve the blue cheese sauce warm over steak, burgers, or as a dip for vegetables. Enjoy!
