Cauliflower and Green Pea Mornay


This dish is a variation to the classic French dish called vegetable au gratin. The mornay sauce is a derivative of the classic bechamel sauce that is made a little more creamy with the addition of grated gruyere cheese into it. The cheese turns the sauce into a thick and creamy coating for the whole dish, with everything brought together by baking the top to a golden and crispy layer.
