  • Melt the butter over low heat without letting it boil. Once melted, add the flour and ground nutmeg, and stir quickly to combine (no more than 2 minutes). Pour in the cold milk in a thin stream, stirring well. Lumps are almost impossible to avoid no matter how careful you are, so reach for an immersion blender — a minute or two and the problem is solved. Simmer over low heat until thickened (about 5 minutes), then stir in the grated cheese and keep it on the stove until fully melted. Season the finished sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Use the béchamel warm, before it cools. Enjoy!
