Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup (100g) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Brie cheese, rind removed and chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) Dijon mustard (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until bubbling, but not browned.
  2. Add flour to the melted butter. Whisk constantly for about 2 minutes until a paste forms and is lightly golden.
  3. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and continue whisking until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low. Add Cheddar, Parmesan, Gorgonzola, and Brie gradually, stirring until melted and creamy.
  5. Add salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Remove from heat and use immediately over pasta, vegetables, or as a dipping sauce.
