Mornay Sauce

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
3 tablespoon flour
1 cup hot milk
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation:

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add chopped onion. Cook over low heat until onion has softened.

2. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients; cook, stirring, until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.

3. Beat egg yolk in a small bowl; add about 1/4 cup of the hot liquid to it, stirring constantly. Pour egg yolk mixture into the hot liquid; stir until the sauce is smooth and hot. To reduce the risk of curdling, a double boiler can be used after the onions are cooked.
