EGGS WITH BECHAMEL (Œufs à la béchamel)
Ah, the béchamel ! I do not need any tardis to go back down memory lane… I only need béchamel with eggs and I am at my primary school’s canteen once again… It is so bizarre as when little, I did not make a link with the nutmeg associated with the béchamel and now it does make sense! Because between you and I, a béchamel without nutmeg is not possible at all. So first of all, if you think about preparing a béchamel, do not start yet, have a look at your cupboard to be sure that the precious spice will is definitely there…
Wine pairing : Montrecul (White) from Burgundy.
