This White Sauce Cannot Get Any Better: Morel Infused Bechamel Sauce

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

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.

    so my dad's sausage gravy was actually sausage infused bechamel.... heck the more I watch this channel the more I find out my family's recipes are actually fine dining.. no shade, I'm serious. I just thought it was good food. now I see how good it really was and why everyone always wanted to eat at my house.

    @@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.

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.

    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!
