Cheesy Garlic White Sauce

• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/3 cup flour
• 3 cups half-and-half cream (use 3-1/2 cups for a thinner texture)
• 1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or to suit taste, I like lots!)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or to suit taste)
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 cups grated swiss cheese (Swiss is best) or 2 cups cheddar cheese (Swiss is best)
• salt (to taste)

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Add in the chopped garlic, thyme, nutmeg and black pepper; cook for 1 minute.
3. Add in 1/3 cup flour; whisk/mix for 2 minutes.
4. Slowly whisk in the cream; bring to a light boil over medium heat stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is thick and bubbly (at this point you may add more cream if you desire a thinner sauce) .
5. Reduce the heat to low; add in the grated Parmesan cheese and Swiss cheese; mix well until the cheese are completely melted.
6. Season with salt to taste.
