Bacon Mornay Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 slices bacon
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 ounces cheese, Cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan, your choice 4ozs if using cheddar or 2 ounces other milder cheese

Preparation

Fry bacon.
Remove bacon from pan; add butter.
Add flour; purists say don't brown flour but I do because I don't like a raw flour taste, and I cook on high (sigh).
Add milk.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cook until thickened.
Add cheese. crumble up bacon and add here.
