Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients

  • 100 g sourdough bread
  • 300 ml milk or plant milk
  • 1 large onion
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 0.5 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 50 g butter or non-dairy alternative
  • 200 ml double cream or non-dairy alternative
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • To turn the bread into bread crumbs, tear it into chunks then pulse it in a food processor or blender until they are an even consistency. Then place to one side.
  • Pour the milk into a heavy bottomed sauce pan.
  • Cut the onion in half and stick the cloves in it then add this to the milk along with the grated nutmeg and bay lead.
  • Season with salt and pepper then bring the milk to the boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the onion and whole spices.
  • Stir in the breadcrumbs and the butter.
  • Keep the saucepan on a very low heat and stir occasionally until the bread has soaked up the liquid and it is thick. This should take 15- 20 minutes.
  • Stir the cream through the sauce and make sure it is warm.
  • Season and serve.
