        To make a creamy b\u00e9chamel sauce<\/strong> with your Thermomix, here are the ingredients you’ll need:<\/p>\n\n

          Freshly grated nutmeg<\/strong> adds a subtle, pleasant flavor to your b\u00e9chamel.\nFeel free to adjust the amount to suit your taste. <\/p>\n\n

          Don’t forget to season<\/strong> your b\u00e9chamel with salt and pepper to bring out the flavours.\nTaste and adjust seasoning as needed. <\/p>\n\n

          Possible variations<\/h3>\n\n

              \n\n

            • For a herbed b\u00e9chamel<\/strong>, add a tablespoon of finely chopped herbs such as parsley or chives.<\/li>\n\n\n
            • For a vegan b\u00e9chamel<\/strong>, replace the milk with a plant-based drink such as almond milk, and the butter with margarine.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n
