For the béchamel

• 

  3 tbsp unsalted butter
  Swap

  Chef's tip

  Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
• 

  3 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 

  2 cups whole milk
  Swap

  Chef's tip

  Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.

For the topping

• 

  ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  Swap

  Chef's tip

  Regular bread crumbs are finer and less crunchy than panko. Use the same amount; coatings and toppings will be a bit denser and less crisp.
• 

  2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  Swap

  Chef's tip

  Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
