How to Make Mornay Sauce
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and 1/2 cup heavy cream until light and frothy.
- In a saucepan (or top of a double boiler), gently heat 1 cup of your favorite white sauce (béchamel) over low heat. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.
- Gradually whisk in the egg yolk and cream mixture into the warm white sauce, ensuring a smooth consistency. Continue whisking constantly.
- Reduce heat to the lowest setting and stir in 1 cup of grated Gruyère cheese (or a blend of Gruyère and Parmesan). Whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Remove from heat and season generously with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
