Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb white pearl onions, left unpeeled
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups coarse fresh white bread crumbs (from 1/4 lb bread with crusts removed)
