Units
Scale
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Chicken Broth
- 1/4 cup 2% Milk
- 1/2 ounce Parmesan Cheese, grated finely (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt PLUS
- 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- Pinch of ground Nutmeg
Instructions
- Over medium heat, melt the butter in a small saute or sauce pan.
- Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute.
- Reducing the heat to low and gradually whisk in the milk. The mixture will become very thick.
- Continue cooking over low heat and slowly whisk in the broth. Once the mixture is combined and smooth, raise the heat source to medium-low and bring up to a low boil. As soon as the first bubbles appear, reduce the heat back down to low and simmer the sauce for 3 minutes.
- Once the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat and whisk in the parmesan cheese. Continue to whisk the sauce until the cheese is completely incorporated.
- Sprinkle in a pinch of nutmeg, whisking to combine and serve.
Notes
If your sauce becomes too thick, you can add a tablespoon of broth one tablespoon at a time in order to thin, until desired thickness is acquired.
