Equipment
- Saucepan
- Thermomix - optional
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter 30 grams
- 2 tablespoons plain flour 20 grams
- 1 cup milk 250 grams
- 1 cup tasty cheese 100 grams
- ½ cup parmesan cheese 50 grams
- pinch Salt and pepper Use white pepper if you don't want black pepper flakes in you sauce.

Instructions
- Grate the cheeses and set aside until needed.
- Place all ingredients into a saucepan (not over heat).
- Turn on the stove to a medium high heat and using a whisk stir constantly until mixture thickens just below boiling point. This should only take a few minutes.
- Remove sauce from stove top and if not using immediately, cover the top with a piece of cling film to stop a skin from forming.
Thermomix Instructions
- Place 3cm cubes pieces of the tasty and parmesan cheese into your Thermomix bowl and blitz for 10 seconds on speed 10 or until finely grated.
- Add the butter, plain flour, milk, nutmeg and salt and pepper to your Thermomix bowl and cook for 7 minutes at 80 degrees on speed 4.
- Serve
Notes
- You can use just Tasty (Cheddar) Cheese for this recipe if you don't have any parmesan cheese.
- This Cheese Sauce can be frozen, however I would recommend using it within 24 hours of making for best results.
- This Cheese Sauce can be made a 2-3 days in advance, store covered in the fridge until needed.
- I prefer to use a mixture of tasty (cheddar) and parmesan cheese when making cheese sauce as this combination helps to give added flavour.
