This Swiss cheese sauce is fantastic over chicken cordon bleu, but it’s also terrific on vegetables, eggs, and other things.

Reviews
Very good and simple sauce. I recommend dressing it up some to suit your flavor. We added some Cajun seasoning to it for more flavor and a little kick.
Worked well for me as written. Like the subtle Swiss flavor. Used it on some onion/mushroom/ricotta stuffed phyllo packets.
It did need more salt than the recipe called for but other than this this was perfect as written. I sometimes struggle with getting cheese sauces to melt but this one worked like a charm and was tasty.
