DANIEL'S CHEDDAR SAUCE

Description

(makes 325ml)


Tastes chef Daniel Reid infuses milk before adding to the cheddar sauce. This gives an added dimension to the flavour to make it the tastiest cheese sauce I have tasted in a long time.

INGREDIENTS

25g (2 + 1/2 tbsp) butter
14g (2 tbsp) flour
1/8 tsp dry mustard powder

flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
250ml (1 cup) Milk Infusion
120g (1 cup) grated cheddar cheese

METHOD

  • Place butter into a heavy-based saucepan set over a medium heat. Melt butter and add flour and mustard. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes or till mixture begins to smell nutty.
  • Very slowly add Milk Infusion, stirring after each addition, and continue to cook and stir till mixture is smooth.
  • Allow sauce to come just below boiling point. Add cheese and stir till melted. If sauce appears too thick for your liking, thin down with additional Milk Infusion.
  • Serve immediately or chill to reheat at a later stage. Reheat over a low heat while stirring and add additional Milk Infusion if required to reach the consistency you desire.
