Cheddar Cheese Sauce Recipe for Crepes

This easy, stove-top cheddar cheese sauce recipe (also known as mornay sauce) is a tangy and smooth complement to any of your savory crepe recipes.

Try it with crepes filled with scrambled eggs or broccoli and cauliflower au gratin.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp of butter
• 4 tbsp of flour
• 2½ cups of milk
• 1¼ cups of grated mild cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp of salt
• Pinch of white pepper

Heat milk in a microwaveable container until hot. Add milk gradually to saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and continue to whisk until it is smooth and thick. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 additional minutes. Add cheese and seasonings and stir until combined. Remove from heat and serve.

Note: If you've made this sauce for another recipe, you may place it in a double boiler over a pan of simmering water to keep it hot until ready to use.

Yield: 2 cups of sauce
