- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
