You can use any good melting cheese for this recipe, so feel free to experiment! Tricks for a Delicious sauceĪ béchamel sauce begins with a roux, which is melted butter and flour cooked together. In this recipe, we use a little of both, so that we get a little more complexity of flavor. Most often gruyere or sharp cheddar are used in a mornay sauce. I love a good white sauce, and I think cheese makes it even better! Mornay has the foundation of a classic white sauce called béchamel, but then it has cheese added to it. The creamy, cheesy sauce that covers the Hot Brown is a mornay sauce. This sandwich is delicious for dinner, but would also make a wonderful brunch item. I share the history of this sandwich in our Kentucky state dinner post. This sandwich was invented by the owner of The Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. There is a creamy sauce, crispy bacon, and underneath that is a foundation of soft and pillowy bread.
