According to Webster's, Béchamel "a rich white sauce made with milk infused with herbs and other flavorings." To the novice home chef, Béchamel is soooo much more than that. It's that creamy, gravy-like condiment that is served warm and assembled quite literally in just a few minutes with only a few ingredients on the stove top. It's kid friendly and altogether worthy of company if you need your sandwiches to make a statement!
