Homemade creamy Gouda cheese sauce

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.
