BéCHAMEL



Béchamel image

Classic and creamy béchamel sauce doesn't include cheese, but we love the nutty pop from Parmesan. Go traditional or play with the flavor: add a little shredded Cheddar, smoked Gouda or even fresh goat cheese.

Time 15m

Yield about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the milk in a glass measuring cup and microwave until just warm, about 1 minute.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk until combined. Continue to whisk until the mixture bubbles a bit, but does not brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Gradually pour in the warm milk while whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, whisking often and occasionally running a rubber spatula around the edges of the saucepan to prevent burning. When the sauce is boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened to a nice coating consistency, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan, if using, and stir until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
