Heavenly Sauce Alert!

Directions

Step 1: Melt Butter & Sauté Garlic

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 2: Add Cream

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.

Step 3: Incorporate Cheese & Seasonings

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth. Stir in Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Finish & Serve

Remove from heat and, if desired, add a splash of lemon juice or sprinkle with fresh herbs. Drizzle over your favorite dishes or serve on the side for dipping.
