Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 10 ounces shredded Bel Paese or Gruyere 
  • 4 punces rindless goat cheese, such as Montrachet
  • 1 cup (about 2 ½ ounces) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Instructions

  • In a medium, heavy saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring often without allowing the flour to brown, for 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually whisk in the milk. Set the pan over medium heat. Whisk in the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat, partially cover and cook, stirring often, until thick, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the Bel Paese/Gruyere, goat cheese, and Parmigiano-Reggiano and stir until smooth. The sauce can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Cool, cover and refrigerate, returning it to room temperature before using.
