PROCEDURE
- Gather all ingredients
- Shred the cheeses into a mixing bowl and reserve
- In a large sauce pot, melt the butter over low heat
- Once butter is completely melted add the garlic and sweat until transparent - about 3-4 minutes. DO NOT BROWN
- Add the sherry brandy to the butter and garlic and flambe to burn the alcohol
- Once flame dies out add the flour to create a blonde roux and mix well
- Cook the flour mixture over low heat while mixing until there are no clumps left and it turns to a paste
- Slowly add your milk and cream while mixing with a whisk to incorporate
- Add seasonings
- Continue to mix until cream becomes slightly thick and then slowly add in the cheeses a little at a time so clumps do not form
- Once all cheese has been added, increase heat to medium flame and bring to a simmer. MAKE SURE TO CONTINUALLY MIX SO THAT THE BOTTOM DOES NOT SCORCH
- Once sauce is thick and creamy, turn heat off, transfer to a third pan and cool.
- Label, store and reserve for service
