Notes
Storage: Store the béchamel in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, stirring frequently.
To freeze: Freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the fridge overnight. It may look slightly separated when reheated but will come back together.
