Homemade gorgonzola sauce. I love cheese and cheese sauces, and I’m not afraid of a good blue cheese. Gorgonzola, a blue cheese from Italy, is slightly spicy with a characteristic flavor. It’s delicious on a cheese platter and fantastic as a seasoning in gorgonzola sauce. To make it, you need whipping cream (which you can replace with cooking cream if necessary), a roux, and, of course, gorgonzola.

Ingredients
- 25 gram butter
- 25 gram flour
- 150 ml whipping cream
- 100 ml whole milk
- 100 gram Gorgonzola (plus extra for topping)
- salt and pepper
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Whisk
INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Once the butter has melted, add the flour and fry briefly. This is called making a roux.
- Make sure not to turn the heat up too high, and don't let it change color. It's okay if it "sweats" a little. The butter and flour will then bubble gently.
- Next, add the cream and milk, and bring the mixture to a boil. Whisk until the sauce thickens.
- Add the gorgonzola in pieces and let it melt into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- Finally, sprinkle some extra gorgonzola on top and serve immediately. Bon appétit!
