  3. 3

    Pour 2 tbsp of milk into a heat-resistant bowl, tear up the 2 slices of cheese and add them. Cover with plastic wrap and heat in a 500W microwave for 40-50 seconds.

  4. 4

    Mix the contents of the bowl well to melt the cheese, then add 1+ tsp of mayonnaise and a pinch of salt and black pepper, and mix thoroughly.

Tips

Cutting the pumpkin into bite-sized pieces and coating it lightly with water before microwaving will enhance the fluffy texture. The sliced cheese releases a wonderful aroma when eaten warm, making it taste even better. Any leftover cream sauce is also great on sandwiches.
