Ingredients

Persons-+

20 gram unsalted butter
20 patent flour
400 ml full-cream milk

76gram organic young Gouda cheese

76gram organic mature Gouda cheese

as needed: salt, pepper & nutmeg or chilli flakes, for example
nootmuskaat

Preparation

1
Grate the young and mature cheese ahead of time so you have them ready for your sauce. We used 150 grams here.
2
The basis of a good cheese sauce starts with the roux. The roux makes sure you get a nice bound sauce.
3
Melt 20g of butter in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Then add the 20g flour to the melted butter and stir well together.
4
After this, pour a little milk into the roux step by step, stirring meanwhile until you have a smooth sauce.
5
Take the pan off the heat and add the grated cheese in small steps. Keep adding a little bit at a time until the cheese is completely melted and it has become a nice cheesy sauce.
6
Season the sauce with a pinch of salt, pepper and, for example, nutmeg if you serve it with the vegetables. Here, we added chilli flakes and served it with a tortilla cake with nachos.

Hoe voorkom ik dat mijn kaassaus klotert of schift?

Kaas smelt het beste op lage temperatuur. Verwarm je saus dus rustig en voeg de geraspte kaas beetje bij beetje toe. Roer voortdurend en vermijd koken, want dan kan de saus gaan schiften of klonteren. Gebruik bij voorkeur een kaas die goed smelt, zoals jonge Goudse, cheddar of een speciale smeltkaas. Een scheutje melk of room kan helpen de saus mooi glad te houden.

Seveer- en variatietips

Voeg extra pit toe door mosterd, knoflook of uienpoeder toe te voegen.
Maak de kaassaus fris door een vleugje citroensap of verse kruiden zoals bieslook toe te voegen.
Gebruik de kaassaus als pastasaus, de kaassaus is bijvoorbeeld perfect voor mac & cheese.

Making your own smokey BBQ cheeseburger

1 pers

30 min

Peel and crush 3 cloves garlic. Bring a medium pan of water to the boil and cook the garlic cloves with it. Cut the sweet potato lengthwise into 4 equal slices. Cook the sweet potato slices al dente for five minutes and rinse with cold water. Chop the cheese, red onion, cucumber and gherkin. Grill the sweet potato on one side on the barbecue or in a pan. Grill the burger as well. Remove half of the sweet potato slices and the burgers from the barbecue or pan and place them with the grilled side up. Place the cheese slices on top and grill again bottom-side down on the barbecue or in the pan. Finish the burgers by placing the spinach on top of the cheese, then the burgers with cheese on top and the rest of the garnish on top. Brush the sweet potato slices you will use for the top of the cheeseburger with crème fraîche and place them on top of the burger.
