2 ounces butter
2 ounces flour
1 cup milk, scalded
Pinch nutmeg
1 tablespoon truffle oil
3 ounces shredded white cheese (cheddar for example)
1-ounce grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
- Melt butter in a small saucepan and mix in flour. Stir for about a minute and add hot milk slowly and whisk.

Add nutmeg, truffle oil, and both cheeses and mix over a low heat until the ingredients are well incorporated. Season to taste. Garnish with chives and fresh truffles.
- SPRING VEGETABLES: Blanch and shock the first five vegetables. On a hot grill pan, grill artichoke, bok choy and asparagus. Arrange all of the vegetables around the fondue pot and serve.
