Milk sauce is a creamy, versatile condiment commonly used in European and Middle Eastern cuisines, particularly in dishes that require a mild, rich flavor profile. It is typically made with milk, flour or cornstarch as a thickening agent, butter, and seasonings like salt, pepper, or nutmeg. Sometimes cheese or herbs are added for extra flavor. The sauce is often used as a base for casseroles, pasta, or vegetable dishes. Nutritionally, milk sauce is a good source of calcium and protein, thanks to the milk, but its healthiness can vary depending on the amount of butter or other high-fat ingredients used. Reduced-fat or plant-based versions can offer a lighter alternative for calorie-conscious eaters. While generally not considered a high-sugar option, portion control is recommended as it can contribute to dietary fat and calorie intake. It’s a comforting addition loved for its smooth texture and mild taste.
