  • melt the butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat; vigorously stir the flour into the melted butter. slowly stream the hot milk into the mixture while stirring; cook and stir until thick. season with the nutmeg. pour into the casserole with 1 1/3 cups cream; stir to coat. allow the mixture to simmer together for about 2 minutes. season with salt and pepper. drizzle remaining 2/3 cup cream over the mixture; sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
  • bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned, 30 to 40 minutes. serve hot.
