In a large sauce pan (at least 3 quarts), melt butter until bubbly on medium heat. Add flour, stirring with a whisk until thick and pasty. Cook for 2 minutes.
Slowly add milk, 1 cup at a time, stirring well in between cups until sauce is smooth. Add salt, nutmeg, and pepper.
Simmer on low-medium heat until the sauce has thickened, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sharp cheddar and the gruyere cheeses to the sauce.. Continue stirring until the cheeses are completely melted, and the sauce is creamy about 5 minutes. The thickened cheese sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Serve white cheese sauce over pasta or vegetables. Or use as a dip for raw vegetables, pretzels and pretzel balls, cheese cubes, sausage balls, tortilla chips, or corn chips.
