- Sprinkle in the flour. Whisk until blended and cook for 2 minutes.
- Slowly add the milk while whisking the roux constantly to create a smooth béchamel sauce.

When adding the cheese, only add very small amounts at a time. Whisk the small amounts of cheese constantly. Wait for the small amount of cheese melt completely before adding more. This is VERY Important.
