Best 5 Cannelloni Mornay Recipes

CLASSIC MORNAY SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat.
• Stir in the flour to form a roux . Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of the water has cooked out (it will bubble less), which also allows the raw flour taste to cook off.
• Slowly add 2 1/2 cups of the warm milk while whisking or stirring constantly so that the liquid is incorporated into the roux without forming lumps.
• Stick the cloves into the onion and add to the sauce along with the bay leaf. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it's reduced by about 20 percent.
• Remove the bay leaf and the onion and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer or a colander lined with cheesecloth. Make sure you retrieve all of the cloves.
• Return the sauce to the pan. Add the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses and stir until the cheese has melted.
• Remove from heat, stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and adjust the consistency with some or all of the remaining 1/2 cup milk if necessary. Serve right away with pasta, chicken, or fish. Enjoy!
