Very nice.  ...and, with all due respect, wouldn't that bechamel actually be a mornay sauce.  I'm just sayin'....

Mornay is more for seafood and is guryere and parmesan based. I love mother sauces. There are so many variations and dishes that can be made with them. I love experimenting.

ooops got my cheeses confused for a sec

I have a provolone cheese sauce recipe that goes perfectly on a Philly cheesesteak.

I think you have to post that recipe (or send it to me!) because I LOVE a good Philly cheesesteak!

Provolone Sauce:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk, heated

1 cup grated aged provolone cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk, and cook, whisking constantly until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the provolone and Parmesan until combined; season with the salt and pepper.

That sounds like it would be amazing on pasta, too.

Thanks, homer, sounds yummy.  I'll give it a try on our next cheesesteak night.
