Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly golden and has a nutty aroma.
3
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened and reduced slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese until it is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
5
Stir in the chopped fresh herbs, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
