65. Make it as a white sauce, aka bechamel sauce

Melt the butter. Stir in an equal weight of flour, mixing until it's smooth. Remove from the heat. Add the milk, a bit at a time, and stirring until smooth before adding more. When all added (and how much you add depends on how runny you want the final result - experiment, or find a complete recipe), heat it again, stirring frequently (constantly once it starts to thicken) until it's just starting to boil. Add salt, pepper and mustard to taste (I have no idea how well American mustard would work; but English mustard works fine, and is, I think, basically just a stronger version of American, so you're probably all right). Remove from the heat, and add the cheese, stirring yet again until it's smooth. If you need to reheat it, do it gently, and do not allow it to boil with the cheese in - it may separate.

Healthy? Well, I'm not making any claims about low-fat ...
