Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup white flour
1/2 cup grated gruyere cheese
1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated provolone cheese (try to get aged)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (try coarse grained for a change)
1/4 cup dry sherry or 1/4 cup wine, of your choice
1/8 teaspoon salt, to taste

1
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until steaming, but don't let it boil or form a skin.
2
While the milk heats, melt the butter in a heavy 2-quart saucepan on low heat.
3
Add the flour and whisk to form a smooth roux.
4
Continue to cook and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes to thoroughly cook the flour.
5
Increase heat to medium, and whisk the hot milk into the roux in a thin, steady stream.
6
Continue to cook until the sauce is smooth and thickened slightly.
7
Don't stop whisking, since white sauces can burn in an instant.
8
Lower the heat, add the cheesed, mustard, and sherry, and whisk until the cheeses melt.
9
Using a double boiler or a heat diffuser, gently cook on very low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add salt to taste.
