The classic Mornay sauce (known as cheese sauce over here in the UK) is a key ingredient in many slightly naughty (but definitely tasty) meals. Cheese sauce is just a Bechamel sauce with cheese in it. See my recipe for Bechamel here: https://whi.sk/UnoOV

Bechamel sauce100ml

Step 2

Grate some cheese (I tend to use 20% of the amount of milk I used in the Bechamel, e.g. 200ml = 40g cheese). This isn't an exact science so just add as much or as little as you like!
