Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk (or half & half for extra creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack)

Instructions


  1. Make the roux
     – In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden and bubbly.
  2. Add milk – Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly, until smooth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Season – Stir in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and paprika.
  4. Melt the cheese – Reduce heat to low and add shredded cheese, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Serve warm – Pour into a serving dish and enjoy with warm pretzels!

Notes


  • Best Cheese Options:
     Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even Gruyère for extra richness. Avoid pre-shredded cheese for the smoothest texture.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce.
  • Make Ahead: Keep warm in a slow cooker on low or reheat gently with a splash of milk.
