Béchamel Sauce (with Low-Fat Milk)
Béchamel Sauce (with Low-Fat Milk) is a classic French white sauce used as a base for dishes like lasagne, gratins and creamy soups; it’s made by cooking milk with a butter-and-flour roux to create a smooth, versatile sauce. Nutritionally it provides about 4g of protein per 100g, while most of its calories come from fat and carbohydrates due to the butter and roux used in preparation. From a health perspective it supplies some useful micronutrients such as vitamin B12 and iodine from the milk, and it gives a reasonably good protein quality and satiety for its portion — but it can be relatively high in saturated fat compared with lighter sauce options.
