Step-by-Step Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until bubbly, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, whisking constantly for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes lightly golden and has a nutty aroma.
Gradually pour in 2 cups of whole milk while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Continue cooking and stirring over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and starts to bubble gently.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in ½ cup of grated Gruyère cheese and ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until both cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is completely smooth.
Add salt and pepper to taste, along with a pinch of ground nutmeg and ½ teaspoon of mustard powder if desired.
If your Mornay sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of extra milk or 1 tablespoon of white wine to reach your desired consistency.
