Instructions

Combine 1 1/4 cups skim milk, 10 tablespoons heavy cream, the clove-studded onion, and bay leaf in a large saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes to infuse flavors.
Discard the bay leaf and remove the onion.
Gradually stir 1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs into the pan until the sauce thickens and achieves a slightly textured consistency.
Stir in 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, then season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
