• 2 tablespoons all- purpose flour
• 1 cup warm milk
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 4 thick slices white bread
• Dijon mustard, for spreading

• 1/4 cup gruyere cheese, shredded

1. In a small heavy bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
2. Once it starts to bubble and foam add the flour and whisk for another 30 seconds, stirring continuously.
