How to Make Cheesy Garlic White Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  3. Whisk in 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of grated Swiss cheese.
  7. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
