Texas Roadhouse Asiago Cheese Sauce
This asiago cheese sauce is high in histamine, driven mainly by the aged asiago and buttermilk.
Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.
This is a creamy sauce built on asiago cheese, milk, cream, buttermilk, and a seasoned wheat-flour base.
-
Aged asiago and buttermilk — asiago is an aged, hard cheese and buttermilk is cultured, so both carry a lot of histamine and set the tone for the whole sauce.
-
The rest of the makeup — the enriched wheat flour and malted barley flour run moderate, along with the soybean oil and lecithin, while the red pepper and paprika add a bit more on top.
There is no clean way to strip the aged cheese out of this sauce, so a plainer option fits better.
