Method

Hide images
step 1
Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter (50 g), followed by the onion quarters (1). Cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes, then pour over the milk (400 ml). Add the bay leaf (1) and cloves (1 tsp) and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
step 2
Fish out the onions, cloves and bay leaf with a sieve – they have imparted all their flavour.
step 3
Add the croissant pieces (3) to the milk and remove from the heat. Allow to infuse for 10 minutes, before adding to a blender or food processor and blending until smooth.
step 4
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to cool completely and then transfer to a freezer bag. Label and freeze for up to 1 month.
step 5
To reheat, defrost the bread sauce and then add to a saucepan and top up with a splash of milk to loosen, then gently heat through.
