Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small onion, stuck with cloves
1 pint milk
Herb bouquet (thyme, parsley, bay leaf tied in cheesecloth)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup fresh homemade-type white breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter
Cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Put the onion, milk, herb bouquet and salt and pepper to taste in a saucepan. Simmer gently without boiling over for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the onion and the herb bouquet. Add the breadcrumbs and nutmeg and cook over very low heat until the sauce is fairly firm. If too thick add more milk, if too thin, add more breadcrumbs. Off heat, stir in the butter and serve the sauce in a heated gravy boat. Sprinkle with Cayenne and parsley.
