Yield 8
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk plus more if you want a thinner sauce
- 2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme de-stemmed and chopped
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Heat a small saucepan over medium/high heat and add the butter to the saucepan. When the butter is melted, add the garlic to the butter. Sauté the garlic in the butter for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the all-purpose flour to the butter and whisk the two ingredients together. Cook the butter and flour mixture for 2 minutes.
Slowly pour the milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly as you add the milk to the butter and flour mixture. The mixture should thicken pretty quickly.
Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the parmesan cheese. Stir the cheese into the thickened mixture until the cheese is completely melted.
Place the saucepan over the heat and turn the heat to low. Add the salt, fresh thyme, and ground pepper to the sauce and stir to combine.
Serve over chicken wings, as a warm dip for vegetables, or toss with pasta sauce.
- We used whole milk, but we tested this recipe with 2% milk and almond milk. They both worked.
- Feel free to add more milk to the sauce if you would like a thinner sauce.
- Feel free to substitute the fresh thyme with fresh parsley.
