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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens into a smooth sauce.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Toast the slices of bread to your liking using a toaster or under a broiler.

Step 7

Spoon the warm cheese and tomato mixture generously over the slices of toast.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
