Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the butter is fully melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. The mixture should be bubbly and golden but not browned.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Then add the heavy cream, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the minced garlic. Let it cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the Parmesan, Gruyere, and mozzarella cheeses one handful at a time, stirring after each addition to ensure the cheese melts smoothly.

Step 6

Once the cheeses are fully combined, add the cream cheese in small chunks, stirring until it fully incorporates into the sauce.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, if using. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, whisking occasionally, until the sauce is silky and smooth.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta, as a dipping sauce, or drizzled over cooked vegetables.
