Savoury Cheese Custard for all Seasons

If a sauce can be ‘quiet luxury’, this is definitely it. Kept low and slow on the hob, cream, egg yolks and cheese are coaxed together into a silky emulsion. Choose your cheese according to mood and frankly, this is my MO for most things. Spoon it over whatever vegetables the season is currently offering.
