How to Make It
- Preheat broiler with oven rack 4 inches from heat. Melt butter in a heavy 2-qt. saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in cream; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 3 minutes until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in ½ cup cheese, salt, and pepper.
