- Whisk in the ground mustard and pepper.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheddar and Gruyere until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Notes
Feel free to swap the Gruyere for extra cheddar or another cheese such as pepperjack, Parmesan, or gouda.

If your cheese sauce is too thick or too thin for your preferences, add additional cheese to thicken or additional cream to thin.
