Method

Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Roux

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add Milk

    Slowly pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Cheese Integration

  1. 4

    Add the Cheese Blend

    Lower the heat to low and gradually add the mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola, and fontina cheeses to the sauce. Stir continuously until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

  2. 5

    Final Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
