Classic Mornay Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
  2. Once the butter is melted, add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan.
  3. Stir continuously with a whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly, forming a roux.
  4. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, but do not let it brown.
  5. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to combine with the roux and prevent lumps from forming.
  6. Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to the desired consistency.
  7. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Once the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low and add the shredded Gruyere cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  10. Season the Mornay sauce with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using).
  11. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  12. Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the Mornay sauce to a serving dish or use it immediately in your favorite recipe.
  13. Serve the Classic Mornay Sauce hot as a delicious accompaniment to vegetables, pasta, seafood, or grilled meats.
  14. Enjoy the rich and creamy flavor of this Classic Mornay Sauce, perfect for elevating any dish!
