I was a little intimidated as I have never made a white sauce before, but to my surprise this came out beautifully. I did make some modifications--I used 3 cups of milk with 1 cup of fat-free half-an-half and increased the flour to 8 tbsp. I do agree that this sauce comes out thick so you may want to cut back on the flour if you prefer a thinner sauce. I combined this with 1/2 cup eggbeaters, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp. Mrs. Dash. I omitted the butter as I feel the sauce didn't need it and also omitted the cheese as this sauce was served over seafood enchiladas. I am so glad to have a recipe for white sauce that doesn't involve a ton of fat and calories...I will make this again. Thanks for posting!

One of the best low-fat white sauces I've tried so far. It was a little too much flour for my taste- I had to add more milk. Next time I will only use 4 Tbsp of flour. The egg gave it a nice, smooth texture. It's a great base recipe. I used it to make a low fat chicken carbonara. Thanks for a great recipe!
