VARIATIONS ON BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

• Worcestershire sauce: For some extra tangy and savory flavor in your Blue Cheese Sauce try mixing in 1-2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. Add in the sauce at the same time you pour in the heavy cream.
• Garlic: Adding in one minced garlic clove can play up the blue cheese flavors in the sauce wonderfully. 
• Lemon juice: There are so many different flavors you can experiment with in the sauce. For a fresher, citrus taste try squeezing in some lemon juice. 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice should do the trick, and this flavor is great if you’re making the sauce in the spring. 
• Cream replacements: If you don’t have heavy cream, there are a few replacements you can use. One option is mixing together 1/4 cup melted butter and 3/4 cup milk. For a thicker replacement is mix Greek yogurt and milk. Either of these will make a rich, creamy sauce.
