For an even richer flavor, consider using Gruyere or Emmental cheese instead of Swiss. A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth to the sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a little extra milk to reach your desired consistency. This sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat, whisking occasionally. Add a splash of milk if needed to restore its creamy texture.
