- In your Thermomix bowl, combine the flour and milk. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg for added flavor. Secure the lid with the cap and select the V7 Manual mode. Let it mix for 1 minute.
- Cut the butter into small cubes and add them to the bowl. Lock the lid with the cap and select Sauce 4, 90°C mode for 8 minutes. This will allow the butter to melt and incorporate with the other ingredients.
- Now, it’s time to add a cheesy twist to our Bechamel sauce. Add 100g of grated Emmental cheese to the bowl. Lock the lid and run the V7 Manual mode for 30 seconds. This will blend the cheese into the sauce, creating a luscious and flavorful mixture.
How to prepare Bechamel Sauce using a saucepan?
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and stir it with a whisk. Let the roux cook for approximately 4 minutes. This step is crucial as it prevents the sauce from having a floury taste.
- Pour in the milk all at once and continue stirring over medium heat. Cook the sauce until it thickens to a desired consistency. It should be quite thick and creamy.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk the sauce vigorously to ensure all the flavors are well combined. Finally, add 100g of grated cheese and whisk again until it’s fully incorporated.
