Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large nonstick pot, add milk, cheese, dissolved cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic, mustard. 
  • Cook over low heat, whisking often, until cheese has fully melted into a thick, smooth sauce. 
  • If sauce is too thick, thin it out by adding a little more milk. If it's too thin, cook uncovered for longer until excess liquid evaporates and sauce is reduced. 
  • Pour this over steamed broccoli (I used roasted). Season with more salt and pepper, if you like. 
  • Serve immediately and enjoy! 

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Tastes best when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up 2 days. However, it will be thicker and grainy, when reheated.
