Instructions

  1. 1Grate the about 225 g of Cheddar Cheese and set it aside in a small bowl.
  2. 2In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tbsp of Butter over medium heat, which is approximately 150°C.
  3. 3Whisk in the 1 tbsp of Gluten-Free Flour with the melted butter. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, until the mixture forms a smooth, thick paste.
  4. 4Gradually whisk in the 1/2 cup of Milk until the mixture is smooth. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking often, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. 5Reduce the heat to low, which is approximately 95°C. Add the grated about 225 g of Cheddar Cheese, the 1 tsp of Worcestershire Sauce, the 1/4 tsp of Mustard Powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently and continuously for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy; ensure the sauce does not boil.
  6. 6While the cheese sauce is finishing, toast the 2 slices of Gluten-Free Bread in a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden brown and crisp.
  7. 7Carefully pour the hot cheese sauce evenly over the 2 slices of toasted Gluten-Free Bread. Serve immediately.
