Ingredients
-
2 Tbsp. Thyme Olive Oil, plus more for the pan
-
1 ½ Tbsp. All-purpose flour
-
2 Cups full-fat milk
-
½ Tsp. Nutmeg
-
⅓ Cup Gruyère cheese, grated
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375F. In a saucepan, heat the Thyme Olive Oil over medium heat.
- Add the flour and whisk continuously to create a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes until it's lightly golden.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce.
Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese into the sauce until it's fully melted and incorporated.
- Season the sauce with freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
