I guess south beach and Swanson are related? Because why otherwise would you use chicken broth in a recipe that has no other dead animal parts?

South Beach has no affiliation with Swanson. The South Beach diet isn't vegetarian/vegan or anything. I would have used Vegetable broth, personally laugh out loud

We went to Luigi's Pizza [luigis-pizza.com] for dinner tonight.
We got a ham'n'cheese calzone and a sausage/pepperoni/mushroom stromboli, and swapped halves.
Damn, but that was some FINE i-talian food.

I dunno, but you've been missing a really good taste.

Butter and flour = roux
roux and milk = Bechamel sauce
Bechamel sauce and cheddar = Mornay sauce

Mornay sauce and mustard (and a little ground nutmeg, honestly) = Delicious!!

The recipe specified Swanson chicken broth- usually the brands are related when they specify a brand. I know some company Makes south beach diet brand bars- they are ~$6 a box!

Like CQ said, it helps the cheese sauce bake into more of a custard.
Blending it into the warm cheese sauce without making scrambled eggs is a trick, though.
Beat the egg well with a few ounces of cold water before blending it into the cheese sauce.
This thins out the egg enough to keep it from cooking into little tiny egg bits in your sauce.

well that recipe was posted by someone on Spark People, which means it isn't an official South Beach recipe. Spark People is open to anyone, posting recipes and whatnot. that's probably why it specifies Swanson. now i'm on the hunt for the original SB recipe Glasses2

We have two different culinary schools in Charlotte.
I might be tempted to sign up when the house is paid off.
