Easy Bread Sauce Recipes

EASY TRADITIONAL BREAD SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the semi-skimmed milk, double cream onion, and bay leaf into a large saucepan.
• Bring to the boil taking care the mixture does not boil over.
• Turn the heat off and leave the pan and cream to stand for about 10 minutes to cool and for the flavors to gently infuse.
• Remove the onion from the pan and keep to one side (read below why you would want to keep the onion.)
• Add the breadcrumbs, to the pan, stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and becomes smoother (you do not want the sauce to be completely smooth, it should still have the texture of the bread.)
• Add the butter to the pan and stir, season with salt and black pepper to taste and serve. If not using straight away, then cover the sauce with clingfilm (plastic wrap) until required or leave to one side to cool, then freeze.
• Enjoy.

EASY BREAD SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the onion and remove the root. Make 12 holes in the onion using a cocktail stick, and push the cloves into the holes.
• Put the onion in a medium saucepan with the bay leaves, peppercorns and milk. Heat gently for 20 mins until the onion is soft, then pour the milk through a sieve into a clean pan and discard the bay, onion and peppercorns.
• Heat the infused milk until just simmering, then add the flour, breadcrumbs, butter and nutmeg. Cook for 5 mins more until the sauce has thickened, then add the cream and season well. Can be made up to two days ahead. Reheat gently on the hob before serving.
