Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms and thinly slice them.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously to create a smooth paste (roux). Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, ensuring it doesn't brown.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to stir for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked mushrooms into the béchamel sauce and mix well. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Sauce Béchamel Aux Champignons warm over pasta, roasted vegetables, or as a base for casseroles.
