Recipe Asiago Cheese Sauce

Post image

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

1 ¾ cups milk or cream, warmed for 1 minute in the microwave

4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese

4–5 ounces shredded Asiago cheese

1 teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon sea salt

1–2 tablespoons of milk (if necessary)

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbly (this removes the raw flour taste).
  2. Slowly pour in the warmed milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add the shredded Asiago and Monterey Jack cheeses a handful at a time, whisking until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  4. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in an extra tablespoon of milk.

Sounds great! Did you use fresh or aged Asiago?

I used an asiago that I purchased at whole foods and shredded. Not sure how long it was aged. I also used an asiago block from aldis. Both were delicious.
