In a saucepan, heat butter; add flour, cooking and stirring a few minutes before whisking in milk.
Add bouillon cube and cheese and cook, stirring often, over low heat for 5 minutes.
Stir in food coloring (2 to 3 drops), if needed.

To make sandwiches:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Trim crusts off toast. Arrange 4 slices of the lightly toasted white bread on individual baking plates.
