Recipe for Mornay sauce with butter, onion, and cheese.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
  • 3 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup hot milk
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation:

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add chopped onion. Cook over low heat until onion has softened. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients; cook, stirring, until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Beat egg yolk in a small bowl; add about 1/4 cup of the hot liquid to it, stirring constantly. Pour egg yolk mixture into the hot liquid; stir until the sauce is smooth and hot. To reduce the risk of curdling, a double boiler can be used after the onions are cooked.
