It's the 1st of December, so Christmas dinner is already on our minds. It is simply made with white stale bread and milk boiled with studded onion with spices and served on Christmas day!

WHAT IS BREAD SAUCE?
Christmas lunch without easy bread sauce, it's hard to imagine and the same goes in my house too, although we go for vegetarian options.
The classic and one of the great bread sauce is an important dish to serve alongside Cranberry sauce in Britain.
This old-fashioned, thick and creamy and extremely delicious sauce goes so well with roast dinner.
This bread sauce truly brings the spirit of Christmas in the kitchen, infusing the milk with onions and the wafting delicate aroma of spices, cream and butter perfectly blending in.
This super duper easy recipe is so simple and foolproof so that can be made with the most basic ingredients.
Notes:-
This bread sauce can freeze for up to two months before you can add the remaining cream and butter.

How to cook Bread Sauce
- Firstly stud the onion with the cloves.
- In a saucepan, pour milk and add studded onion, black peppers, salt and bay leaf.
- On medium heat, bring the mixture to the boil.
- Turn off the heat and cover the pan with the lid and let the milk infuse for an hour.
- Meanwhile, make bread crumbs in a mixer or food processor.
- After an hour, remove the onion, peppercorns and bay leaf.
- Add breadcrumbs to the infused milk and add little butter.
- Return the saucepan to heat and keep stirring to prevent burning at the bottom ( I used Stirr )
- Once the sauce gets thicker turn off the heat, add cream and remaining butter.
- Serve the sauce in a serving bowl or jug and sprinkle the sauce with the freshly grated nutmeg.
- Enjoy!
NOTES:
Instead of bread slices, one can use store-bought or homemade bread crumbs.
