• Dairy-Free White Sauce (recipe provided below)
• 1/2 cup of dairy-free cheddar-style shreds, or as needed (Plant-Powered Dairy-Free Cheese, available at Woolworths)

Steps

Basic White Sauce:

• 3 Tbsp Olive oil
• 2 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
• 2 cups (480ml) Soy Milk (or other non-dairy milk)

Spices to taste:

• Ground Black Pepper
• Salt

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a pot over medium to high heat on the stove.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the flour and whisk vigorously until combined.
3. Pour in the soy milk all at once, and continue to stir and whisk, alternating between a wooden spoon and a whisk, allowing the sauce to gradually thicken.
4. The sauce will typically reach the desired thickness after reaching boiling point and boiling for a few minutes.
5. Once you’ve achieved the desired thickness (remembering that the sauce will thicken further as it cools), remove the pot from the heat and season with your choice of spices, such as salt, black pepper or any spice of your choice.
