  2. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.  Drop in butter and allow to foam.  Add flour and mix in with a rubber spatula.  Cook for three minutes.  Then, pour in half and half 1/4 cup a at time, stirring in after every pour.  Add salt, pepper, paprika and nutmeg and cook 3 minutes while stirring, until smooth.  Remove from heat and stir in cheese.  Set aside.
