Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup blue cheese (crumbled)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish - optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it begins to foam.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the garlic and butter mixture, whisking continuously to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually add the whole milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled blue cheese, reducing the heat to low. Cook gently, stirring often, until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer the sauce to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy with steak, vegetables, or as a dip for crusty bread.
