Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 2 tablespoons of flour is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1 1/2 teaspoons per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid flour, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 ½ cups whole milk
2 oz gruyère cheese, finely grated (about ½ cup)
1 oz parmesan cheese, finely grated (about ¼ cup)
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
¼ tsp salt, or to taste
⅛ tsp white pepper

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy but not browned. Add the flour all at once and whisk constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture smells faintly nutty and turns a pale ivory color.
2
Remove the pan from the heat and pour in about ½ cup of the milk, whisking vigorously until smooth and no lumps remain. Return the pan to medium heat and add the remaining milk in a steady stream, whisking continuously.
