Mornay Sauce

A creamy, cheesy variation of the classic béchamel, rich and indulgent, perfect for elevating a wide range of dishes.
Legend has it that the first Mornay sauce was served in a grand Parisian banquet hall, where a chef, desperate to impress, whisked cheese into a bubbling béchamel. The guests swooned, the duke applauded, and the chef was forever known as…
"Oh, come on. It’s just cheese sauce. Just tell me how to make it. YES CHEF!"
