Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 350 g kataifi dough (12 ounces)
  • 250-300 g grated cheese (10 ounces)

For the béchamel

  • 6 tbsps butter
  • 800 g milk (3 1/3 cups)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a saucepan to medium heat. Add 2 tbsps of olive oil and the chopped onions and sauté the onions for 3 minutes, until softened and slightly colored. Add the garlic, the mushrooms and the bacon, until most of the juices have evaporated and set aside.
  • For the bechamel sauce, melt 6 tbsps of butter into a deep pan, over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to make a paste. Add warmed milk to the mixture in a steady stream, whisking continuously, in order to prevent the sauce from getting lumpy.
