Method: How to make creamy bread sauce

1. Stud each onion quarter with 2 cloves. Put into a saucepan with the milk, peppercorns and 3 of the bay leaves. Place over a low heat and slowly bring to simmering point. Set aside for 1 hour to let the flavours develop.

3. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining bay leaf and a little nutmeg to serve.
