Notes

Chop the Laughing Cow wedges into small pieces before adding them to the pan. The smaller the pieces, the faster and more evenly they melt into the sauce.
Keep the heat on medium-low once the cheese goes in. High heat can cause the sauce to scorch on the bottom or turn grainy.
Mix the cornstarch with a small splash of cold milk before adding it to the pan. This prevents clumping and helps it incorporate smoothly.
The sauce will thicken as it sits. If it gets too thick before serving, stir in a small splash of warm milk to loosen it back up.
