🥣Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the Butter over medium heat. Whisk in the Flour until it starts foaming. Whisk in the Milk. Season with Pepper.

💡Tips

• Once the Cheese is added, do not return the sauce to the heat.

• Serve with white meats or, especially, poached or hard-boiled eggs, poached fish, or some boiled vegetables, including potatoes, cauliflower florets, boiled salad greens, spinach, or carrots.

• Since the cheese has salt in it, taste the sauce after the cheese has been added before seasoning to see if additional salt as needed.
