name 2 other variations besides cheese for white sauce

Answer 1

In addition to cheese, here are two variations of white sauce (also known as béchamel sauce):

1. Herb-Infused White Sauce: This variation incorporates fresh or dried herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley, to add flavor. Simply add the herbs to the milk as you heat it or stir them into the sauce after it's been thickened.

2. Garlic White Sauce: For a garlicky twist, sauté minced garlic in the butter before adding the flour to make the roux. This adds a rich, aromatic flavor to the sauce without the need for cheese.

These variations can enhance the versatility of white sauce in various dishes!
