Cheese Sauce

Yesterday i made this sauce just like my dad used to make it, and we had it with collyflower. Although this sauce is very simple to make it is a nice to spice up dull vegetables especially in autumn and winter.

Ingredients
25 gr butter
25 gr flour
300-400 ml of milk (use your intuition)
150-250 grams of cheese (depending on how cheesy you want it)
a pinch nutmeg
1 bay leaf

Preparation
Make a basic bechamel sauce:
Let the butter melt, add the flour and fry it slowly.
Watch the color change from white to golden.
Add the milk, bay leaf, some more heat, and whisk with a guard.
Keep whisking now and then and watch the magic happen: your mixture and transforms into a thick sauce !
Now add the grated cheese and a pinch of nutmeg.
Keep whisking until you get a nice smooth cheese sauce
Add salt and pepper to taste.
