CHEESE SAUCE (MORNAY SAUCE):
5. Step
Heat milk: Heat milk and cream until hot – either on the stove or in microwave.

6. Step

7. Step
Add milk: While stirring, pour in half the milk. Once the roux is dissolved into the milk (mixture will thicken), stir in remaining milk. Stir on the heat for 1 minute – mixture should be thick enough to coat a wooden spoon.

Add cheese: Turn the stove off, but leave the pot on the turned off stove. Stir in salt, nutmeg and both cheeses. The cheese will thicken the mixture so it's like a thick sauce.
