Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Heat Cream and Butter: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream and butter. Warm the mixture until the butter is fully melted and the cream is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
2. Whisk in Cheese: Gradually whisk in the shredded cheddar cheese. Continue whisking until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Notes

• Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for best melting results; pre-shredded cheeses can contain anti-caking agents that affect texture.
• Do not overheat the sauce to avoid separation; keep the temperature moderate.
• For a thinner sauce, add a splash of heavy cream while whisking until desired consistency is reached.
• This sauce pairs well with steamed vegetables, grilled chicken, or as a dip for low-carb snacks.
