Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- â…“ cup mayonnaise
- â…“ cup heavy cream (or milk or half and half)
- 5 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Sauté Garlic: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant to infuse the sauce with a mild garlic flavor.
- Melt Cheese: Lower the heat to low and stir in the mayonnaise, heavy cream (or your choice of milk or half and half), crumbled blue cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes, mashing the blue cheese with a spoon to help it melt smoothly without overheating, which could cause the sauce to separate.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice to brighten flavors. Season with black pepper to taste. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature alongside your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Use olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free twist.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more cream or milk if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently over low heat to avoid separation.
- Perfect as a dip, salad dressing, or steak sauce.
