Gluten-Free Cheese Sauce

Home cooks use a hot cheese sauce as a dip for snacks like chips and pretzels, as a topping for baked potatoes and nachos, or as a base for dishes like mac and cheese, casseroles, and soups. Traditionally, this sauce is made with Gruyere cheese, but feel free to use whatever you prefer in terms of taste or whatever you have on hand.  Professional cooks refer to this essential and versatile sauce as Mornay. It’s always served hot at meal time but can also be used as a dip at parties or snack time.
