Bechamel Sauce1. Meanwhile in a saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour and mix with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and continue cooking until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Add Gruyre cheese and keep at a medium low heat until it is completely incorporated. Set aside.
