Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small, finely chopped shallot
  • 60 ml dry white wine
  • 240 ml heavy cream
  • 100 grams Roquefort cheese
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0 to taste salt

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped shallot to the pan and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Crumble the Roquefort cheese into the sauce and stir until it melts completely and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Season with black pepper and taste before adding salt, as the Roquefort cheese can be quite salty.

Step 7

Serve immediately over steaks, pasta, roasted vegetables, or any dish of your choice.
