Bacon Mornay Sauce is a rich, creamy sauce made from butter, milk, cheese, and crumbled bacon. The butter and flour mixture serves as a roux, which thickens the milk and creates a smooth and creamy texture. This sauce can be used on pasta, vegetables, or as a dip for your favorite snacks. Its versatility and ease of preparation makes it a go-to sauce for those who want to add extra flavor to their meals.
