Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully liquefied and begins to bubble lightly.
Step 2
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. The mixture should form a smooth paste with no lumps.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to combine the roux and milk. This helps prevent clumping.
Step 4
Continue to whisk and cook the mixture over medium heat until it thickens into a sauce-like consistency. This will take about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, one small handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt fully before adding more.
Step 6
Once the cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth, season with salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm over scrambled eggs for a rich and flavorful breakfast topping.
