    2. Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add leeks; cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until softened.

    3. Sprinkle flour over leeks and whisk to make very thick paste. In 2 additions, whisk in warm milk until smooth. Add salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat. Whisk in 1-1/2 cups cheese blend, reserving 1/2 cup.
