Prepare the Mornay Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to create a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheese until melted. Season with salt and black pepper.
