How to Make Cheesy White Sauce Microwaved For Quickness And Ease

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-60 seconds.
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, a pinch of nutmeg, and a pinch of white pepper. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 2-4 minutes total).
  4. Remove from the microwave and stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) until melted and smooth.
  5. If needed, microwave in 15-second increments, stirring constantly, until the flour taste disappears. Taste and adjust accordingly
  6. Season with salt to taste (add cautiously, as cheese already contains salt).
