Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute to get rid of the raw flour taste—this forms a roux.

Step 3

Slowly add milk, a bit at a time, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 4

Once all the milk is in, simmer gently until the sauce thickens (around 3–5 minutes).

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in grated cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 6

Season with salt, pepper, and optional extras.
