How to make Béchamel Cream.

Ingredients

1 litre milk (or four glasses)
2 – 3 table spoonfuls of olive oil or butter*
2 – 3 table spoonfuls of flour
2 -3 eggs
1/2 cup of grated cheese (any type of grated cheese)
a pinch of ground nutmeg


Directions :

Pre-heat milk.

In a saucepan add oil or melt butter making sure it does not burn. Add flour and mix thoroughly, add salt and nutmeg.

Add the warm milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and creamy. If it becomes too thick add some more cold milk. Beat the eggs and add gradually, a little at a time slowly, but stirring constantly until all absorbed. Add grated cheese and stir.

*Instead of butter you may use olive oil, use low fat milk, for those who have cholesterol, use less eggs or no eggs, omit cheese!


NB : I finally found this simple recipe for making béchamel cream at last! So, best of luck to friends out there who's doing lasagna this weekends or soon.
