StephanieSB Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Even though this recipe doesn't contain eggs, it was found in one of my chicken-keeping books. It's very simple: Warm double cream in a sauce panAdd grated cheeseStir until cheese is melted It's just the right consistency, rich, incredibly creamy (not for those on a diet!). And it pours lovely. And all these years I've been messing around with flour and butter and all the bits and bobs. This is so quick, no mess. My sauce is for a mac & cheese, so I dashed in a bit of worcestershire sauce and mustard, and stirred in a bay leaf while the cream was warming, but it's a basic cheese sauce for all kinds.

chickencam Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 It may have cream in it and cheese but ir does not have butter or flour so it can't be that much worse Much easier will give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 It sounds lovely - and as Chickencam says..... no butter or flour, so it shouldn't be much worse....... I make my sauce with cornflour and no butter but will def. try this one for a treat or when we have visitors to feed...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieSB Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well, do let me know how yours turns out! My first double cream-cheese sauce went down a treat last night. My son loved it so much, he's asked for more "cheesy pasta" (as he calls my mac and cheese) for breakfast. And my chef-hobbyist husband, who usually does the fancy cooking around here, was impressed, and he's usually a you-must-always-do-a-proper-rue kind of man. So far so good. I'm breaking my diet today to have more for lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
