Mornay Sauce

I featured my Mornay sauce recipe on Q13 Fox News This Morning served on a croque madame for Mother’s Day.

Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 3 Tablespoons AP flour
• 3 cups whole milk, warmed
• pinch of nutmeg and pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups gruyere, shredded

 

Directions

1. Melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
2. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking. Allow to thicken for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Once the sauce coats the back of a spoon, turn off the heat and stir in nutmeg, pepper, salt and cheese.
4. Put a lid on the sauce and set aside.
