Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 3
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the garlic and butter mixture. Whisk constantly for 1 minute to form a roux.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Follow with the heavy cream, continuing to whisk until smooth.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, and allow it to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 7
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
