Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups full-fat plain yogurt
1 cup grated aged cheddar -- or Gruyère cheese, plus more for sprinkling the top
salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste

Whisk together the olive oil and flour, over moderate heat until frothy,
about one minute. Remove from the heat, whisk a bit longer and add the
cold milk and yogurt. Cook over moderate heat, whisking constantly, and
don't worry if the mixture looks lumpy. It will become smooth as it cooks
and thickens. When it starts to boil, remove from the heat and stir in the
cheese, salt, and pepper.

Makes 3 1/2 to 4 cups

Moussaka has a lush topping of béchamel sauce—or "cream", as it is often
called. My light olive oil béchamel is pleasantly tangy, as I substitute
yogurt for part of the milk.
