Remove stems from kale; discard. Roughly chop leaves. Bring large saucepan of water to a boil. Add kale; cook 5 minutes. Drain.

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk until well blended. Whisk constantly over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes or until sauce boils and is thickened, scraping up browned bits occasionally. Whisk in 1/2 cup cheese, garlic, salt, and nutmeg.

Remove saucepan from heat. Fold in kale until combined. Sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired.
