This decadent, creamy sauce it the perfect topper for the perfect steak. It’s also good on a roasted chicken breast. It’s the perfect balance of cream, shallots, chives and blue cheese. I personally think it is fine just eaten with a spoon!
While Gorgonzola is blue cheese variety I would recommend for this sauce, any creamy blue will do. Try experimenting and see which you like best.
Note: This cheese sauce does melt relatively well, but you may find some bits leftover from the shallots and cheese. If you like your sauce totally creamy and smooth with no chunks, pass it though a colander or Chinois to filter out the bits before serving.
