Ingredients
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream and stir in minced garlic. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, but do not let it boil.
Whisk in Dijon mustard, optional hot sauce, sea salt, and black pepper until combined. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to infuse flavors.
Gradually add shredded cheddar cheese in small portions, whisking continuously until melted and smooth. Adjust the heat to low if needed to prevent clumping.
Taste and adjust seasonings. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of heavy cream for the desired consistency. Remove from heat and serve warm.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Drizzle over steamed broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini noodles.
- Use as a dip for keto chips, pork rinds, or fresh vegetables.
- Pour over grilled chicken, steak, or scrambled eggs for a cheesy twist.
Tips & Tricks
- Always use freshly grated cheese for a smoother texture—pre-shredded cheese may cause clumping.
- Heat gently to avoid separating or grainy sauce.
Storage & Reheating
- Refrigerate: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Reheat: Warm on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently. Add a splash of cream to maintain the creamy texture.
- Freezing: Not recommended, as freezing can alter texture.
