A classic. We all know that go-to comfort recipe that we are certain will please the crowd. Smothered in a creamy cheese sauce and baked to flakey perfection, trout mornay is a timeless recipe that can never be defeated. It’s quick, simple, and easy. I recommend spicing up the sauce with red pepper flakes or something zesty for a little bit of kick. Serve warm with a roasted side vegetable or garlic mashed potatoes.
