EASY CHEESE SAUCE

Homemade cheese sauce is so simple and starts with just a few ingredients: heavy cream, cream cheese, cheddar, Gruyere, and mustard powder.

I like the flavor that Gruyere cheese adds to this cheese sauce, but you can definitely sub in whatever cheese you prefer! Monterey jack is mild and creamy, Parmesan will give it a salty kick, and Pepperjack will add a little spice.

• First, you’ll want to heat your cream over medium heat. We don’t want to boil the cream, but just get it good and hot and then stir in the cream cheese. Sprinkle in some mustard powder and stir until everything is combined.
• Turn the heat off and add your freshly grated cheddar and Gruyere.
• Start stirring until the mixture is fully melted, smooth, and creamy!
• That’s it!
• This sauce will start to thicken as it cools, so serve warm.

Ingredients

1. 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2. 2 ounces cream cheese
3. 2 tablespoons butter
4. 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
5. 1/2 teaspoon pepper
6. 6 ounces cheddar, grated
7. 3 ounces Gruyere, grated

Instructions

1. Add the heavy cream, cream cheese, and butter to a medium sauce pan and cook over medium heat until the butter and cream cheese have melted.
2. Whisk in the ground mustard and pepper.
3. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheddar and Gruyere until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Serve immediately as the sauce will thicken as it cools.

Notes

• To reheat, add a splash of cream and microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and hot.
• If your cheese sauce is too thick or too thin for your preferences, add additional cheese to thicken or additional cream to thin.
