Bread sauce

Method

1. Press the cloves into the 2 onion halves and place in a saucepan with the bay leaves, pinch of salt, nutmeg and milk. Bring to the boil and then remove from the heat, cover with a lid and leave in a warm place for the milk to infuse for about 1 hour.

2. Return the pan to the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook on a low heat for about 20 minutes until creamy and thickened.

3. Just before serving, remove the onion, bay leaves and peppercorns. Stir in the butter and double cream to give a wonderful rich creamy sauce.
