Bechamel Sauce

Bechamel Sauce is pretty simple (and easy) sauce, yet a wonderful addition to many meals. The sauce especially compliments eggs. A favourite meal in this house is Croque Madames. YUM! I had leftover pancakes from yesterday morning, so for a quick meal I heated them up, topped with with a once over easy egg, then topped everything with some bechamel sauce. Not exactly a diet-friendly meal, but homemade and delicious! Here's the recipe for the sauce. Enjoy!

Bechamel Sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • fresh cracked s&p
  • 1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
1. In a small sauce pan over med-high, heat butter until fully melted. Add flour and immediately whisk together. Continue heaitng for 1-2 minutes, until mixture is smooth, bubbly and golden.
2. Slowly pour in milk, and continuously stir until sauce starts to thicken.
3. Add s&p and nutmeg, then stir to combine. Lower heat, then keep sauce on stovetop a few more minutes, until thick and creamy (stir every 30 seconds or so).
4. Remove from heat and serve immediately. ENJOY!
