Units
Scale
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup heavy cream (or milk or half and half)
- 5 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Sauté Garlic: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Melt Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Stir in mayonnaise, heavy cream (or milk), blue cheese crumbles, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat for 2-3 minutes, mashing the blue cheese with a spoon to help it melt. Be careful not to overheat, or the sauce may separate.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Season with black pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of blue cheese.
- For a milder flavor, use less blue cheese or substitute with cream cheese or goat cheese.
- If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a bit of milk or cream.
- This sauce is delicious with chicken wings, potato wedges, vegetables, or as a dressing for salads.
- Store leftover sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
