Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 100 grams Stilton or blue cheese (crumbled)
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and begins to bubble, whisk in the all-purpose flour. Continue whisking for 1–2 minutes to cook off the raw flour flavor, forming a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth base. Then, add the heavy cream and keep whisking to ensure there are no lumps.
Increase the heat to medium-high and stir frequently as the mixture begins to thicken, about 3–4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled Stilton or blue cheese. Allow the cheese to melt completely, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, and salt. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 1–2 minutes to meld the flavors. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Remove the pan from heat and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the blue cheese sauce warm over steaks, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for crusty bread. Enjoy your creamy, indulgent creation!
