Instructions

- In a medium saucepan set over medium to high heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour until you have a paste. Gradually start whisking in milk. Continue doing this until you have added all the milk and you have a slightly thickened sauce. Reduce heat to medium low and add most of the cheese, reserving a little for the top. Stir really well until all the cheese has melted into the sauce. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Stir and remove from heat.
