Mornay Sauce is a creamy, cheese-based condiment originating from French cuisine. It is a variation of béchamel sauce, enriched with grated cheese, usually Gruyère, Emmental, or Parmesan, which adds a rich and savory flavor. Typically made from butter, flour, milk, and cheese, it has a smooth texture that pairs well with vegetables, seafood, pasta, or baked dishes like macaroni and cheese. While Mornay Sauce is a delicious addition to meals, its nutritional profile can be indulgent, as it often contains significant amounts of saturated fat and calories due to the butter and cheese. On the positive side, it offers calcium and protein from the dairy ingredients, but moderation is key if you're watching fat intake. This sauce is a hallmark of European classic cooking, adding decadence and depth to recipes while being a flexible base for culinary creativity.
