Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour to the butter and whisk continuously to form a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, but do not let it brown.
Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Then, add the heavy cream and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the shredded Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese, one handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt completely before adding more.
Mix in the Dijon mustard, salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve warm over freshly cooked chicken cordon bleu, vegetables, or pasta.
