Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, and whisk continuously until a smooth paste (roux) forms. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden brown.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Gruyère cheese until it melts and incorporates into the sauce.
Add the ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste, and let the Mornay Sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until it reaches a smooth and velvety consistency.
Remove the Mornay Sauce from the heat, and it's now ready to be served over your favorite dishes.
