Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 4 slices sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste but avoid browning.
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens into a smooth sauce.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to heat through.
Toast the slices of bread to your liking using a toaster or under a broiler.
Spoon the warm cheese and tomato mixture generously over the slices of toast.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
