• 2-3 tsp LC Thick’n Saucy
• 4 oz gruyere, grated

Method:

1. Use the whole cloves as tacks to attach the bay leaves to the cut side of the onion.
2. Place onion piquet into a saucepan with the heavy cream and water and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Remove the onion piquet, add the nutmeg, and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Add 2 tsp Thick’n Saucy and simmer for 10 minutes. If the sauce isn’t thick enough, add more Thick’n Saucy ½ tsp at a time. Allow 10 minutes for sauce to thicken.
5. When preferred thickness is achieved, strain sauce through a sieve with cheesecloth and return to the saucepan.
