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!

Great sauce! I've never used egg substitute to thicken my sauces, and here it works very well. Be very careful not to get too anxious and heat your sauce too fast after you add the egg - you don't want to cook it! Thanks for a great recipe!
