Ingredients

200 g grated cheddar cheese
250 ml fresh cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
to taste Salt and pepper
1 clove garlic minced

Equipment

Medium saucepan
Whisk
Wooden spoon
Sharp knife and cutting board

Method

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it bubbles slightly.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant and light golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic butter, stir quickly to combine, and cook for two minutes to make a roux.
Slowly pour in the fresh cream while whisking constantly to prevent lumps, cooking until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard until fully combined.
Turn the heat to low and add the grated cheddar cheese, stirring gently until melted and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, always grate your cheese from a block instead of using pre-shredded cheese. If you're looking for healthier alternatives, consider using Greek yogurt or low-fat cheese. This sauce is perfect for serving over fries, veggies, or used as a dip. Enjoy while warm for the best experience! Leftover cheese sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheated gently on the stove over low heat.
