Blue Cheese Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 banana shallot (peeled and finely chopped, or use ½ small onion)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 150 ml (½ cup + 2 tbsp) double (heavy) cream
- 125 g (4 ½ oz) Stilton cheese (crumbled or roughly chopped, can substitute with Gorgonzola for milder flavor)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat to create a flavorful base.
- Sauté Shallots: Add the finely chopped banana shallot and fry for 3-4 minutes until softened and aromatic.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release its fragrance.
- Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the double cream and add the crumbled Stilton cheese. Heat over low heat, stirring often for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, using the back of your spoon to help crush the cheese for smoothness.
- Season Sauce: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and black pepper to enhance the sauce’s depth of flavor.
- Finish and Serve: Serve the sauce immediately or let it simmer for a few more minutes on low heat while stirring often if you prefer a thicker consistency.
Notes
- You can substitute Stilton with Gorgonzola or another blue cheese according to your taste preference.
- For a milder sauce, use less Worcestershire sauce or omit it entirely.
- This sauce pairs wonderfully with steak, roasted vegetables, or even as a dressing over salads.
- Keep stirring the sauce gently to prevent it from burning or separating.
