Elaboració

Pas a pas

  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

    Uns 2 min

  2. 2

    Add the flour, salt, and white pepper, then whisk to form a smooth paste, or roux.

    Uns 1 min

    Nota de cuina: Cooking the roux for a minute helps to remove any raw flour taste.

  3. 3

    Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: Using warm milk can help the sauce come together more smoothly, but cold milk works fine with constant whisking.

  4. 4

    Increase the heat to bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.

    Uns 3 min

  5. 5

    Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

    Uns 2 min

  6. 6

    Remove the saucepan from the heat.

    Nota de cuina: Taking the sauce off the heat prevents it from scorching while you add the cheese.

  7. 7

    Add the cubed cream cheese and shredded Swiss cheese to the hot sauce.

  8. 8

    Stir gently until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety.

    Uns 2 min

  9. 9

    Stir in the optional grated nutmeg just before serving for a touch of warmth.
