BACON MORNAY SAUCE
I tagged I'mPat's recipe #377532 and there was no recipe there for this very tasty, easy to make, sauce so here it is. You could mix it up with the cheese. I used 1/2 Swiss cheese and 1/2 Parmesan cheese. You can use this on noodles, potatoes or rice.

Tips:
- For a crispier puff, use day-old bread. Fresh bread will be too soft and will not hold the cheese filling well.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor. You can also use a combination of cheddar and another type of cheese, such as mozzarella or Parmesan.
- Be careful not to overfill the puffs, or they will burst open during baking.
- Serve the puffs immediately after they are baked, while they are still warm and gooey.
