Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)

- Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and cook and stir for 1 – 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and pepper. (I needed to have the heat on to completely integrate the cheese into the sauce) – Mine did melt with heat off but it might depend on your cheese type.
