In medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add flour, cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Add milk and broth; cook, whisking almost constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat so mixture bubbles gently; cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes. Stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Pour over gratin.
