Making the Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter with the chopped onion. Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the flour. Still off the heat, gradually add the milk while breaking up any lumps. After the mixture is smooth with all the milk incorporated, return to the heat and allow it to thicken on low, stirring constantly. Add grated nutmeg and the creamy cheese spread once thickened. Strain the sauce through a sieve if you prefer not to have the onion pieces.
