Make the Mornay Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, and cook until the mixture thickens. Add the Gruyère cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheeses melt and the sauce is smooth.
