Preparation Time:
2 minutes
Cooking Time:
15 minutes
Total Time:
17 minutes

Step 1: You will need…

  • 120 g cheddar cheese
  • 600 ml milk
  • 40 g plain flour
  • 40 g butter
  • ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 saucepan

Step 2: Heat the milk

Place a pan on a low heat. Add the milk, butter and flour. Whisk continuously until it comes to a simmer.

Step 3: Turn the heat down

Once simmering, turn the heat down and keep whisking for a further five minutes until it becomes a thick, smooth sauce.

Step 4: Add the cheese

When the sauce is smooth, add the cheese. Stir it in, add a pinch of nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Whisk constantly for a further five minutes until everything is thoroughly combined.

Step 5: Serve

Take the pan off the heat and serve immediately. And that's how you make cheese sauce the VideoJug way. Why not try it on broccoli or cauliflower?

    Yes you can leave out the nutmeg if you wish. You can also add other ingridents if you wish. Like the mustard mentioned here.
