Ingredients

  • 50 grams (1/2 cup) sharp cheddar cheese
  • 50 grams (1/2 cup) low moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 2/3 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • spices of choice: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, fenugreek, etc, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of each.

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan on medium high heat, combine 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of flour and mix them until combined. Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Next slowly add the milk, a little bit at a time. Add a little bit of milk, mix, then add some more, mix, and so on and so forth until you have added all the milk. If there are any clumps, no worries, you can strain the sauce.
  3.  Next, once all the milk has been added to the pan, add all the cheese and let it fully melt in there, while constantly mixing the sauce.
  4.  Add all the spices of your choice, 1/2 teaspoon at a time and let the sauce boil for 1-2 minutes. If you find the sauce too thick, feel free to add more milk and if you find it too loose, cook it down some more. You can store this in the fridge and reheat it when it is time to serve!

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness! I love a good thrift, so make sure to catch my thrift hauls every Sunday on my Instagram!
