In a medium pot, add in the butter and begin to melt. Once melted, slowly add in flour until slightly thick. Allow to cook for 1 minute then slowly pour in milk while stirring constantly. Continue to stir until desired thickness and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add in cheese, creole mustard, salt and pepper.
