Leftover Bechamel Sauce - Trixxee - 02-03-2008 I have a little bit (maybe a cup) of leftover bechamel sauce that came with some stuffed mushrooms my husband bought yesterday from an Italian restaurant. Love the sauce. Any ideas of what I could do with the leftover, either for a main dish or a side dish? It would just be the two of us eating so I don't have to make a lot of whatever it is. Thanks for any ideas. You guys are so helpful! Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - Corinne - 02-03-2008 I would scramble fry some bulk sausage and add it to the bechamel. Then I'd serve it over waffles or biscuits. It's great with breakfast. Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - cjs - 02-03-2008 or...toast up some English muffins, sprinkle with crab, top with the warm bechamel, top with shredded Cheddar cheese and stick under the broiler. or, add a little cheese - preferably swiss or Parmesan to the bechamel and have a mornay sauce and just take a spoon and start in on it!! Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - Corinne - 02-03-2008 I've got crab on the brain, cjs. Your ideas sound great! Oh, I know what it is. So many people are thinking Valentines Day and I bet I've read 50 crab cake recipes. Quote:This sounds really good. Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - pjcooks - 02-03-2008 Or, if you're in need of comfort food at the moment (I have a sick house) take your Mornay, add some cayenne or tabasco and cracked pepper, pour over cooked elbows and top with toasted-in-butter ritz cracker crumbs It's what my kiddos want when they're under the weather. Tho that crab thing sounds good PJ Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - Gourmet_Mom - 02-03-2008 We like to add a little cayenne, clam or shrimp broth, crab, and cooked shrimp and serve over some fish or steak....MMMM! Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - bjcotton - 02-03-2008 After you've added the Parmesan, grab a spoon and then lick the bowl! Over elbow macaroni sounds wonderful. Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - labradors - 02-03-2008 Pity, but one cup would not be enough to make pastitsio. Maybe you could improvise, and make mini, muffin-pan pastitsio. Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - cjs - 02-03-2008 Shoot, now I have to make up some bechamel...thanks a lot, Trixxee!!!! Re: Leftover Bechamel Sauce - firechef - 02-03-2008 Maybe a bit of Rigatoni and Prosciutto...add the parmesan like has been suggested and sprinkle with some fresh mozzarella and bake until all is melted and bubbly...yummy indeed. A cup would be enough for two I would think...some garlic toast or bread sticks...next time save more sauce and I'll come for dinner too! |
