How to Make a Cheese Sauce

How to Make a Cheese Sauce

Cheese sauce is an excellent addition to a huge variety of meals. To make a standard cheese sauce, for the likes of pasta dishes, casseroles, burgers, nachos and dips, follow these simple instructions:

  • Prepare your roux: Melt two tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat, then whisk in two tablespoons of flour and cook for a couple of minutes until bubbly and golden.
  • Add milk: Gradually whisk one cup of milk into your bubbling mixture, continuing to whisk until it thickens and becomes smooth.
  • Incorporate cheese: Remove from hob and stir in one cup of shredded cheese until it melts. Many cheeses work for a perfect cheese sauce, but cheddar is a particularly good addition. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

How to Make a Blue Cheese Sauce

Pairing perfectly with steak, a blue cheese sauce recipe is a must have for all budding chefs. Taken from our fillet steak with rosemary fries and green beans recipe, this is how we suggest making the perfect blue cheese sauce.

Pop a small saucepan on low heat and add 75ml creme fraiche to warm through. Season with pepper, then stir in 30g of crumbled blue cheese until melted into a smooth sauce*. Remove from the heat and set the blue cheese sauce aside until you’re ready to serve.

For the perfect cheese board, it’s best to have a variety of flavours and textures available for your guests. Choose from the following categories for variety:

  • Firm or semi-firm cheeses: Such as cheddar, comté, edam, emmental, gouda, manchego.
  • Spreadable or soft cheeses: Like brie, camembert, goat’s cheese or mozzarella.
  • Something a bit ‘out there’: Blue cheeses such as cabrales, Danish blue, gorgonzola, stilton or roquefort.

If you choose two cheeses from the same category (which is perfectly acceptable), ensure they still offer some contrast. For instance, goat’s cheese and brie are from a similar ‘soft cheese’ profile, being light and creamy – but their flavours are distinctively different. While goat’s cheese is tangy and often herby, brie is much more creamy and buttery.

Pair your cheeses of choice with crackers, chutneys and grapes, and display in an eye-catching, aesthetic way for the ultimate wow factor.
