Brown Butter Cheese Sauce:

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

3-1/2 cups milk

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Place butter in a small pan (preferably one with a light colored bottom) over medium heat. Now, you have to pay very close attention, as your butter is going to be ready before you know it. Your butter will melt, then it will become foamy and then it will begin to turn a very light golden brown and finally to a nice, deep brown. You will smell the difference! Once it reaches the deep brown, nutty stage, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a small bowl to cool slightly.

Once you're ready to make your sauce, place the brown butter, along with 2 tablespoons of flour, into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Allow the butter/flour to cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in your heavy cream and milk.

Allow sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened up a bit. Turn off your heat and slowly mix in the shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

That's it!
