Tips

  • Do not add a large amount of shredded cheese to a sauce that is very hot or boiling as the cheese may “seize”, clumping up into one large curd, and ruin your recipe.
  • In this recipe, adding cold cream and shredded cheese (along with the other ingredients) to the melted butter, over low heat, should prevent a recipe failure.
  • Alternately, very slowly add the cheese to the warm milk, butter and garlic.
