Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour, working vigorously to prevent lumps, until the mixture (which is called a roux) darkens a little but does not burn, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour in the milk and continue whisking to break up any lumps. When the milk thickens to the consistency of thin gravy, 2 to 3 minutes, turn off the heat and stir in the cheese and salt. Use as is, or add in some extra spices (such as chili powder, cumin, and/or cayenne pepper) to kick it up a notch!
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
