Béchamel Sauce – 3 Ways Recipe

• In a medium size pot, over medium heat, heat the oil and add in the onions.
• Gently sautee the onions for a minute to extract the flavours, stirring often to avoid getting too much colour.
• Add in the flour, and cook the roux (flour and oil) for a few minutes.
• Slowly pour in the Lactantia® Lactose Free Milk while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps.
• Once the mixture is thick and smooth, add in the salt and white pepper and continue to gently cook for a few more minutes.

Variation 1 – Cheese Sauce

• Put the béchamel sauce back in the pot and sprinkle with cheese, while continuing to whisk.

• Heat the stock on the stove and bring to a boil.
• Add in the dried mushrooms and let cook for a few minutes.
• Add in the strained béchamel sauce and adjust seasonings.
