A Mornay sauce is a béchamel sauce with shredded or grated cheese added.[1][2] The usual cheeses in French cuisineare Parmesan and Gruyère, but various cheeses may be used. In American cuisine, a Mornay sauce made with cheddar is commonly used for macaroni and cheese.
Etymology
The name origin of Mornay sauce is debated. It may be named after Philippe, duc de Mornay (1549–1623), Governor of Saumur and seigneur du Plessis-Marly, writer and diplomat, but a cheese sauce during this time would have to have been based on a velouté sauce because béchamel had not yet been developed.[3] According to other theories, the sauce was named after the Duke of Mornay in the late 1600s. However, the original mornay sauce came into existence before béchamel sauce, so the original version of the cheese sauce that the Duke was given to eat was likely different than the contemporary version.[4]
Sauce Mornay does not appear in Le cuisinier Royal, 10th edition, 1820, perhaps because sauce Mornay is not older than the seminal Parisian restaurant Le Grand Véfour, where sauce Mornay was introduced.[3]
Ingredients
Mornay sauce is a smooth sauce made from béchamel sauce (butter, flour, milk), grated cheese, salt, and pepper, and often enriched with egg yolk.[5][6] The cheese may be Parmesan and Gruyère,[6][7][8] Parmesan alone,[5] or various other cheeses.
