Equipment
Ingredients
- 570 ml full fat milk
- 1 medium onion
- 5 whole cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 170 g approx 4 slices white gluten free bread
- 30 g salted butter
- 50 ml double cream
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a saucepan. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters. Add to the pan along with the cloves and bay leaves.
- Pop the pan onto a medium heat bring to the boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes and then turn off the heat. Set the pan to one side to sit for 15-20 minutes so the milk can absorb the flavours.
- Meanwhile blitz the gluten free bread slices in a food processor until they form a fine breadcrumb.
- When the milk has cooled, strain it through a sieve into a saucepan and discard the onion/cloves/bay leaves.
- Add the breadcrumbs to the strained milk and stir in. Add the butter and place back on a low heat for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Once the butter has melted and the sauce is hot, stir in the double cream and season generously with salt and pepper. The breadcrumbs should absorb the liquid and swell to form a thick sauce - if it is too thick then you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Remove from the heat and serve with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg on top. For extra indulgence, add a little knob of butter on top of the hot sauce so that it melts into the top.

Notes
- Storage: This sauce can be made several days ahead of time and kept in the fridge. If doing this, you may need to add a little extra milk when reheating as you may find the sauce will thicken in the fridge.
- Make Ahead: You can also make this ahead of time and freeze it. Defrost thoroughly and then reheat on the hob.
