    Ingredients

    • . > (American / Metric measures) <
    • . 1/8 cup (30ml) unsalted butter
    • . 1/4 cup (40g) All-Purpose flour
    • . 1-1/2 cups (375ml) milk (1%+ fat)
    • . 1/8 cup (30ml) fortified Sherry or White wine
    • . 1 Tbsp. (15ml) Dijon mustard
    • . 1 tsp. (5ml) ground nutmeg
    • . 1/4 tsp. (1.75ml) sea salt
    • . 1 tsp. (5ml) granulated garlic powder
    • . 2 cups (260g) Cheese blend* grated and packed
    • .
    • . * Cheese Mix possibility: Gruyere, strong Cheddar and Parmesan OR Friulano, Juraflore and Parmesan

    Directions

    1. . In a medium saucepan, melt the butter on MEDIUM heat and quickly whisk in the flour to create a 'roux'. After a few seconds, the flour will appear cooked.
    2. . Add a very small amount of milk. Whisk until a smooth consistency is reached.
    3. . Then, gradually add the rest of the milk to fully combine. Also, add in the chosen wine and continue to whisk until thickening begins.
    4. . After a few minutes, when the sauce starts thickening, test it on the back of a spoon. Pass your finger in the center to see a dividing line that remains set. It's ready. Remove from the heat and set aside.
    5. . Add the Dijon mustard, seasonings and the blend of cheeses. Stir to combine.
    6. . Remember that before getting ready to use this warm sauce, don't forget to whisk it randomly in order to avoid a undesirable thick forming surface.
    7. . Flavourful wishes from Claudia's kitchen...FOODESSA.com
