Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Bechamel Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste (roux). Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Cook the Sausage
