Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Cheese Grater
  • Stovetop

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz. cheddar cheese (~1 ½ c.)
  • 8 oz. cream cheese (1 package)
  • 1 c. sour cream
  • 1/2 shallot minced
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp. dijon mustard
  • dash nutmeg
  • dash smoked paprika
  • dash salt
  • dash pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan and simmer on medium-low for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened enough to serve. Stir constantly.
  • Serve immediately.
    It is possible to reconstitute cheese sauces after it re-solidifies at room temperature. Just keep it at a long temperature, stir constantly, and slowly bring up the heat. Bringing up the heat too quickly can cause the cheese to separate and you may need to add a bit more sour cream if the sauce is too thick at this point.
