Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. (1 minute)

02

Step
2 mins

Gradually whisk in the flour until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring a smooth consistency. Increase the heat to medium and cook, whisking continuously, until the sauce has thickened and is bubbly. (5 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Reduce heat to low. Add the shredded Swiss cheese, salt, and pepper. (1 minute)

05

Step
3 mins

Cook and stir gently until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overheat. (3 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using Gruyere or Emmental cheese instead of Swiss.
A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth to the sauce.
If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a little extra milk to reach your desired consistency.
This sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat, whisking occasionally. Add a splash of milk if needed to restore its creamy texture.

    My sauce was a little lumpy at first, but whisking it vigorously really helped smooth it out. Thanks for the tips!
