Whisk in all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Gradually add milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, stirring until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and stir in white cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Season with salt, black pepper, nutmeg, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend flavors.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using as a spread or sauce.
