Bechamel Sauce is a classic French white sauce made from a simple combination of butter, flour, and milk. Often referred to as one of the "mother sauces" in French cuisine, it serves as a creamy base for numerous dishes like lasagna, macaroni and cheese, and soufflés. While rich in flavor, it’s also quite indulgent, containing high levels of fat and calories. However, by using low-fat milk and whole grain flour, you can make a lighter version without sacrificing taste. With its velvety texture and versatile nature, Bechamel Sauce is a staple in kitchens worldwide, adding a touch of elegance to any dish.
