Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 banana shallot, finely chopped (or ½ small onion)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 150 ml (½ cup + 2 tbsp) double (heavy) cream
  • 125 g (4½ oz) Stilton, crumbled or chopped (or use Gorgonzola for a milder flavor)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter: In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat to create a flavorful base for the sauce.
  2. Sauté the shallots: Add the finely chopped shallot to the melted butter and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma without burning it.
  4. Incorporate cream and cheese: Pour in the double cream, then add the crumbled Stilton cheese. Reduce the heat to low and stir continuously for about 5 minutes until the cheese fully melts and the sauce thickens. Use the back of the spoon to break down the cheese for a smooth texture.
  5. Season the sauce: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the sauce’s savory depth.
  6. Finish and serve: Serve the sauce immediately for the best creamy consistency or let it simmer on low heat for a few more minutes, stirring regularly, to thicken further.

Notes

  • Use Gorgonzola instead of Stilton for a milder blue cheese flavor.
  • Serve this sauce warm over grilled meats, steamed vegetables, or baked potatoes.
  • To make the sauce smoother, ensure continuous stirring while melting the cheese.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid splitting the cream.
