Cheap recipe
It should be said a few words beforestart to prepare the cheese sauce. Recipes of cheese sauce often describe the same cooking process, but use different grades. Cheddar, Parmesan, goat or with mold - from the type of the main ingredient will vary the taste of gravy, and with it and the whole dish. In cheese, you can mix various spices and herbs. Our first recipe is the most economical. For the preparation of this sauce, fused cheese, and any kind of solid will suit. If you have a slice of 100-150 grams in the fridge, boldly get to work.
Heat the cast-iron frying pan and lay it on it30 grams of butter. When it melts, pour a spoonful of flour. Fast stir until homogeneous. When the flour begins to stick to the bottom, we set the frying pan to cool. In a separate saucepan we warm up a glass of milk. Do not bring it to a boil, pour a thin trickle into the flour, stirring carefully to avoid the formation of lumps. In exactly the same way, we heat up and add a glass of vegetable or chicken broth. Return the frying pan to the stove, bring the liquid to a boil, stirring constantly. After that, we subtract the minimum fire and cook until thick. Now mix the grated cheese. It is important that it melts completely. And at the end, season with a nice cheese sauce with salt and favorite spices. The sauce should look like a dough for pancakes. If the mass is too steep, add butter.

The mass should be homogeneous. We should have a finely grated cheddar (130 grams) at hand. Pour it into the milk, season with salt, nutmeg and black pepper. We cook another five minutes. During this time the cheddar will melt, and the mass will become completely homogeneous. This cheese sauce is suitable for meat and vegetables, casseroles, french fries and pasta.
Roasting for sausages
One hundred grams of any hard cheese is rubbed largeshaving. We pour 125 milliliters of milk into dishes with non-stick coating. We add there a tablespoon of ready-made mustard, a pinch of basil, thyme and thyme, sugar and salt to taste. Pour the cheese. Put the dishes on a small fire. We bring to a boil, all the time mixing the mass so that the gravy is not burnt. We maintain for another couple of minutes, until the pleasant cheese sauce slightly thickens. We pour on them sausages, sausages, any boiled meat.
Creamy cheese sauce with eggs: "morne"

We strain and transfer into a greased baking dish with an equal layer (half a cabbage). We cover with minced meat. From above put the remaining number of inflorescences. In a jar we mix warm milk, butter, flour and grated cheese. Fill this sauce with casserole, put the form in a preheated oven for forty minutes.
