Mornay Sauce
Mornay Sauce is a classic French-style cheese sauce — essentially a béchamel enriched with grated cheese — commonly used over vegetables, eggs, pasta and gratins. It’s prized for a creamy texture and cheesy flavor that finishes many traditional dishes. In terms of nutrition, Mornay Sauce is a protein-containing, high-fat sauce and can be relatively rich in saturated fat with about 5.3g of saturated fat per 100g; it also supplies some vitamin A from dairy. While it provides good-quality protein and contributes calcium and fat-soluble vitamins, it’s best used in moderation because of the concentrated saturated fat and low fiber content; lighter béchamel or vegetable-based versions can give a similar culinary function with fewer calories and less saturated fat.
