Best Eggs And Ham In Mornay Sauce Recipes

CROQUE MADAME

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place bread slices on cutting board or prep surface. Divide ham among them, being sure to trim it so it doesn't extend over the edges of the bread. Place cheese over ham, making sure it doesn't extend over the edges of the bread either.
• Heat griddle (or two oven-proof nonstick pans) over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp butter.
• Once butter has melted, place the bread cheese side up and cook for 1-2 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown.
• Transfer pans to the oven for 2-3 minutes, in order to melt the cheese.
• Melt the remaining 1 Tbsp butter in a separate large ovenproof skillet and fry the eggs. Cook until bottoms are set and then place skillet in the oven to set top of whites, about 1 minute.
• Once cheese on bread is melted, remove from oven and put two slices together to make sandwiches.
• Place sandwiches on separate plates, top with eggs, and pour 1/4 cup mornay sauce over the white of each egg, leaving the yellow uncovered.
• Sprinkle black pepper over each egg and garnish with a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

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!
