Join my online French cooking classes 👨🍳: learn.thefrenchcookingacademy... How To make a tasty Bechamel sauce (for croque Monsieur)
When making a croque monsieur it is vital to know:
1/ How to make Bechamel sauce
2 /How to flavour a Bechamel sauce
That will simply and effectively get the quality of your toasted sandwiches ( croque monsieur) a notch above the rest.
ingredients needed for the classic bechamel:
250 ml /1 cup of full cream milk (Whole milk)
20 grams / 1 tablespoon of butter
20 grams /3 tablespoon of flour
For the flavouring:
salt pepper
a pinch of grated nutmeg
a pinch of cayenne pepper
1 bay leave
30 grams of onion ( in one piece)
Ingredients needed for the bechamel I made in this video ( formula 2):
250 ml /1 cup of full cream milk (Whole milk)
20 grams / 1 tablespoon of butter
20 grams /3 tablespoon of flour
For the flavouring:
salt and pepper
a pinch of grated nutmeg
4 to 5 small dry morels mushrooms ( soak them in warm water first for 1 hour)
2 tablespoon of Morels liquor ( the water in which the morels soaked in)
1 bay leave
30 grams of onion ( in one piece)
****************************************************************
Most croque monsieur are made with a classic bechamel sauce that has hardly has any taste and this can be a show stopper for a lot of people that are not particularly fan of that sauce.
In this video we learn how to make a tasty version of the bechamel sauce that you will be able to flavoured with anything you like. I am demonstrating the process of making a mushroom (Morels) bechamel but you can use the same technique and come with your twists on that recipe.
Trust me once you tried it you will never go back to the standard bechamel sauce recipe.
As a bonus I am giving away my signature French toasted sandwich recipe that uses in my view one of the best bechamel or sauce for croque monsieur.

They all derive from the 5 mother sauces of classical French cuisine: bechemel, tomato, espagnole, hollandaise and veloute. ;)

Hello can you help me with that ? You father used to infuse raw or pan/oven cooked sausage in milk ? Can you please further inform us about this recipe ? It sounds really good

@@rickross5421 he just fried his sausage crumbles and just as they started to get the little crispy bits he would put his flour in and cook his flour in with the sausage and grease. The sausage finished cooking with the flour. Then he would add just a little bit of whatever milk he was using, most of the time it was regular vit d but sometimes it was half n half or canned milk. It would let that tighten up then very slowly add milk or water if he used canned milk. Never lumped on him. He also would save back the grease from sausage patties or bacon and cook the flour in that for other sauces. One he addedd coffee and milk to, one he added chicken broth too. My favorite was frying up onions and canned mushrooms in bacon grease and cooking the flour in that. It could be made with any milk or any stock/broth. If he wanted it smooth he ran it thew the jam sieve. You could put that over any meat, pasta, noodle or potato. It was great as a base to casseroles. Made being a poor broke kid full and happy. Leftover chicken with that base poured over a 50 cent (at the time) bag of egg noodles and we ate like kings.

Agree 100%. The instructions are simple and clear I subscribed and I just found out why my Bechamel sauce goes lumpy...invaluable information.
This clears up the confusion brought about by the sauce making theories from other vids. Well done.
My uncle and I used to pick wild morels. After they were washed, the morels were rolled in flour and fried until golden then put on buttered bread and eaten open-faced. Your sandwich looks yummy.

Perfect instructions that make it easy to use these techniques for other dishes. I really like how you always say the heat you are using. That's a thing a lot of other channels ignore.
Wow!! I wish I was there. This way in preparing the béchamel sauce takes this mother sauce to a whole new level for me. Thanks Stéphane.
Just have to say this is the best technique chanel on KZread for a simple reason: you go into detail about temperatures wherever it matters. So many places gloss over how hot pans should be etc.
The most reliable, accurate, non pretentious French cooking channel in KZread universe 🤗🥰 with 💖 from 🇨🇦
Excellent explanation on adding flavors to the béchamel sauce. I look forward to more of your videos to learn more.
just found your channel its awesome - Im a Brit ( in Canada ) cooking a French Bechamel Sauce to make a Greek Mukasa ,, and thanks to you it turned out Great -- Earle -

Never thought about doing an “infusion “ for a bechamel. Great lesson!
Wow! This is brilliant. Using the morel as a flavouring agent then reuse it. Only the French 👍. I have morels in my side garden. Hope they appear soon!
love everything you do is very goo! thank you.
the bite experience explanation is 👌
I love to see a chef who is seriously enthusiastic about the lovely food he is cooking! Thanks for this video.

That bechamel looks great. Love your new workspace. Cheers!
I have use a similar recipe for years when doing party or large snack size vol o vents. I use onion, celery, carrot, bay leaf, salt and pepper and sometimes add a quarter of a chicken stock cube when doing chicken or mushroom vol o vents. And do it the same way as you do. I find the white sauce version bechamel sauce (white sauce) to bland so pleased to see you do very similar way. You made my mouth water at the thought of it mmm lovely.
This is the classics the perfect basics needed to cook amazing food
Waaah I like it from Kenya in Africa
It's so good to watch an expert, you are very good...…..Thanks

Found this video while looking for a good sauce to go over my Swedish meatballs. Since I love Morels, I had to click. My god, that sandwich! The crunch! Made me drool. Introduced me to a new cheese. I also love Mascarpone, and I really want to try that infused Gorgonzola. I have to rewind a bit and listen to that crunch again. :) Great video. Subscribed.
This is like a refresher course from culinary school and my professional culinary career,thank you

You just invented the ultimate Croque Monsieur crunch and mouthwatering ooze with that delicious sandwich...I could listen to your culinary instructions all day...JTD
The croque monsieur has been one of my favorites since the early 1980s. I got a scallop shell, stove top, croque monsieur iron back in my WIlliams-Sonoma days. These days I tend to go for the croque madame. Yes, the iron is not necessary, but it is fun. I have not seen the 2nd version of bechamel (hot milk), I will certainly give that a try!
Congratulations Chef. That looks Amazing! I sent you a vídeo from an Alain Ducasse school with another variation of the Croque Monsieur. Merci beaucoup

hi walter hope you are well. and yes I will add the version in the next video thanks walter .
This sauce is said to have been used w/cod in the 1800's, which led to the Americanized version of tuna casserole in the 1950's. Idk where my research & creativity will land but I'm very thankful for this content.
Nice!

One of the better movies I have seen about béchamel sauce. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I also have one question: can I also make the sauce on buckwheat flour?
My God Stephan doesn't fuck around. The sandwich looks like it's the best sandwich in this dimension and possibly the neighbouring ones.
Awesome
Wonderfull !! I talk from Brazil, coutry of são Paulo state
This explained a bechamel so much more than the previous 10 videos I watched. Thank you so much. I do have a question though. I understand butter and flour is like 1:1 but what about the milk? How much or how little do I add?
just magnificent
Love it
omg amazing
Book marking this one for later. So delicious!!
awesome
Amazing
Wow I had no idea bechamel sauces could be made like this.. I don't think I'll ever make a plain bechamel sauce again. Also this sandwich look so delicious! It was thoughtful, not too much of any one ingredient. Does anyone know if the chef have a cook book?

vagas99 he mostly uses a classic book by Auguste Escoffier. The Culinary Guide, I imagine it is called in English. Before long though, he should take his twists on the recipes and put them in a book of his own.

Good idea to let the roux cool down and put infused hot milk in it. Thanks for the tip! For my taste you should whisk more heavily in order to avoid lumps..
I made this sauce tonight. I added cheese and minced ham. I put it on top of asparagus that were topped with poached eggs. Excellent low carb meal. I was delicious!! I could eat that sauce out of the pan with nothing else.
