Cheesy Garlic White Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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)

Preparation

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add in the chopped garlic, thyme, nutmeg and black pepper; cook for 1 minute.
Add in 1/3 cup flour; whisk/mix for 2 minutes.
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) .
Reduce the heat to low; add in the grated Parmesan cheese and Swiss cheese; mix well until the cheese are completely melted.
Season with salt to taste.
