Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
