Can you freeze or keep a Mornay sauce Jarred for 7-10 in the fridge. This seems like something I would love to do but in a bigger batch for a 2nd meal later on.

[keithsnow]

@bonzaibb12 I would not freeze this because you would mess up the consistency....you might be able to whisk it back to normal but I would not try....it's so darn easy to make this from scratch I would make only what I need at any given time...

Chef Keith, When I incorperate cheese's into creamy sauces the cheese becomes lumpy. What am I doing wrong?

[keithsnow]

@socraticproblem86 you might be adding to much cheese at once and not getting it thoroughly melted into the sauce...keep heat on very, very low, whisk constantly and add a small amount o cheese at a time...keep whisking until it;s all melted and smooth...turn off heat or it will break...will be re doing this video this month so it's more explanatory

I use bechamel sauce when I make 'croque monseurs" (French hot ham and cheese sandwiches popular in Parisian cafes). All you need is baguette slices, ham, gruyere, and a bechamel sauce, and you're good to go. Make the sandwich as you would a cold ham and cheese, but add grated gruyere to the bechamel, and put some sauce inside and on top of your sandwiches, on a baking sheet, then put in the broiler and lightly brown the tops. Your friends and family will be in heaven.

I use mornay for lasagna, instead of bechamel. Tastes great. :)

@keithsnow The sauce looks beautiful! Thanks Chef Keith.

@elia586: not by the basic standard of a mornay. Alter and add all you want, thats the beauty of creation but dont force additions as standards on other people.

I likes to make that kinda stuff and pour it over some Vienna sausages. I puts Velveeter cheese in there. Sometimes I adds a can or two of vegetables, but not often because it kills the taste of the Vienna sausages. I do likes to add some bacon grease or sausage drippings from breakfast. Then we can sop it up with some biscuits.
