MORNAY SAUCE (from Joy of Cooking) 6-9-01

Excellent for making fish, egg and vegetable dishes. If you are using it in a dish to be browned in the
oven or under the broiler, sprinkle with a little grated cheese over the top first.
Prepare:
Bechamel Sauce:
This sauce, actually made with milk, is used for creaming foods like vegetables and fish and as a
base for other sauces.

Melt over low heat 2 tbsps. butter. For the delicate flavor, even commercial establishments have
found no substitute for butter. Add 1½-2 tbsps. flour, stir in slowly 1 cup milk. For better
consistency, you may scald milk beforehand; but be sure, to avoid lumping, that the roux is cool
when you add it. Add 1 small onion studded with 2-3 cloves and half a small bay leaf. Cook and
stir the sauce with a wooden spoon or wire whisk until thickened and smooth. Place in a 350°
oven for 20 minutes to cook slowly. The oven interval also saves your time and hands for other
kitchen jobs. Strain the sauce. Correct the seasoning and serve. For creamy dishes, use about ½
as much sauce as solids.

Beat together egg yolk and 2 tbsps. cream until blended. Add little of the sauce to the egg yolk
and cream, stirring constantly, then return the mixture to the rest of the sauce and cook until well
heated. Then add 2 tbsps. grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsps. grated Gruyere cheese. Keep stirring
with a whisk to help melt the cheese and keep the sauce smooth while it thickens. Correct the
seasoning with salt and a few grains of cayenne.
