Ingredients
  

  • 500 ml whole milk
  • 1 small onion studded with 6 cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 garlic clove lightly crushed
  • 80 g fresh white breadcrumbs
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp double cream
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • Salt and white pepper

Method
 

  1. Simmer milk with onion, bay leaf and garlic, then remove from heat.
  2. Cover and infuse at least 20 minutes.
  3. Strain into a clean pan.
  4. Warm gently, whisk in breadcrumbs gradually.
  5. Stir in butter, cream and nutmeg, cook 2–3 minutes.
  6. Season, serve warm.

Notes

Infusing the milk properly is the key step for a flavourful sauce.
Strain thoroughly before adding breadcrumbs for a smooth texture.
Add breadcrumbs gradually for better control over thickness.
Freezes reasonably well for up to 2 months.
