Ingredients:

45 grams (1.5 oz) butter

6 eggs

1 tablespoon flour

30 grams (1 oz) Gruyère cheese, grated

500 ml (16 fl oz) milk

Pinch freshly grated nutmeg

1 onion

Salt and white pepper

Equipment:

sauce pan

frying pan

bowl

whisk

grill

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Hard-boil the eggs: bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the eggs, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Put the eggs into cold water until just cool enough to handle and then shell. (A trick for shelling hard-boiled eggs is to roll them with the palm of your hand on a hard surface to break up the shell and then peel them under a slow stream of running water.) Reserve the eggs in a bowl of warm water.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan or small frying pan over low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender but not coloured.
  3. Prepare the bchamel sauce: melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 2 minutes; do not allow it to colour. Whisk in the milk and bring to the boil, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Season with the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, whisking constantly and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent the sauce from sticking. Stir in the cooked onions and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat the grill. Slice the eggs 1 cm (0.4 inch) thick. Spread a thin layer of the bchamel sauce over the bottom of the gratin dish. Layer the egg slices over the bchamel sauce and coat with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with grated cheese, then grill, turning the dish if necessary to colour evenly, until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately.

Food Trivia

Death row inmates in Texas don't get to pick their last meal.

Food Joke

Jack goes to the doctor and says "Doc I'm having trouble getting my penis erect, can you help me?" After a complete examination the doctor tells Jack, "Well the problem is that the muscles around the base of your penis are damaged. There's really nothing I can do for you unless you're willing to try an experimental treatment." Jack asks sadly, "And that would be?" "Well," the Doctor explains, "What we would do is take the muscles from the trunk of a baby elephant and implant them in your penis." Jack thinks about it silently then says, "Well the thought of going through life without ever having sex again is too much, let's go for it." Jack went under the knife, and, after a period of recovery and healing, returned to the Doc for his blessing. Following the examination, the Doc pronounced Jack "healed and ready for action". Eager to use his experimentally enhanced equipment, Jack planned a romantic evening for his girlfriend and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in town, anticipating a happy conclusion to the evening. In the middle of dinner he felt a stirring between his legs that continued to the point of being painful. To release the pressure, Jack placed his napkin on his lap and unzipped his fly. His penis immediately sprung from his pants, flipped the napkin on the floor, went to the top of the table, grabbed a bread roll and then returned to his pants! His girlfriend was stunned at first but then, imagining the possibilities, said with a sly smile and a gleam in her eye, "That was incredible! Can you do it again?" Jack groaned, "Probably, but I don't think I can fit another roll in my ass."
