5 Minute Keto Herb Cheese Sauce

Step 1Add the butter and cream to a small sauce pan and gently heat on medium.

Step 2Once heated, add the cream cheese (or soft goat's cheese). Stir with a hand whisk until melted and bring to a simmer. If the cheese starts spattering, reduce the heat. Once you see bubbles, remove from the heat.

Step 3Add the grated cheddar cheese (or any hard cheese such as goat's cheese) and mix until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook for 3-5 minutes more minutes while stirring. If too thick, add a bit of water or more cream.

Step 4Add a pinch of salt and the herbs. Whisk until combined.

Step 5Serve with fish, meat, steamed or roasted vegetables or with a keto friendly pasta alternative like shirataki or zucchini noodles.

Step 6The sauce should be eaten immediately or kept at room temperature before serving. Once refrigerated and reheated, the butter separates and the cheese clumps which you want to avoid. If you really have to reheat the sauce, use low heat. It’s best to make a smaller portion by simply dividing the ingredients if making less than 4 serves.
