As published

This recipe was extracted from The new century cookery book (1901) by Charles Herman Senn, page 128. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Sauce Maintenon. This sauce is especially adapted for so-called gratin dishes, and must therefore be well reduced so as to be of the correct consistency. Boil 1 pint of bechamel sauce for about 15 minutes, stirring con- tinually ; add to it the yolks of 4 eggs, 1 tablespoonful of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoonful of cooked onion puree (soubise), a suspicion of garlic, just enough to impart the aroma, a pinch of paprika pepper, and a little grated nutmeg

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
