In a heavy saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and whisk to combine.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon flour
Cook for two minutes, then add the milk while whisking.
1/2 cup milk
Let simmer for five minutes to thicken, then remove from the heat. Stir in mustard.
3/4 teaspoon spicy mustard
Add cheese in small batches, stirring until thoroughly melted and incorporated before each addition.
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat, stirring periodically, before serving if you are making this ahead.

For a smooth and creamy sauce, add the cheese gradually, stirring until it melts entirely before adding more. If you add too much at a time, it clumps and doesn’t incorporate well into your sauce.
