Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6.

In a large sauce saucepan, over a medium-high heat, melt the Arla LactoFREE Slightly Salted Spreadable butter. Once melted, stir through the plain flour to create a roux. Gradually add the Arla LactoFREE Semi-Skimmed Milk, stirring constantly to create a thickened smooth sauce.

Add the Arla LactoFREE Cheddar Cheese, mustard powder and ground nutmeg, stir-ring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
