Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz sharp white cheddar cheese freshly shredded
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Toss shredded white cheddar cheese with cornstarch until evenly coated.

  3. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add cheese gradually in small handfuls, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
