Make on Fresco
Serves 4 Prep Time 10 minutes   Cook Time 30 minutes   Rated:

You say crayfish, I say lobster, potato, potah-to, tomato, tomah-toh.

I find a good mornay is hard to pass up. And I think this is a good mornay. Of course I would say that, but give it a whirl and let me know! This also appear in Tenina’s America, the cookbook. Drool worthy recipes from all over the USA made easier in your Thermomix. I pretty much love every recipe in the book. And no, I am not biased. There are a few real faves and this is one. I have made it more than once, which is a surefire sign I am loving it!
