My mom used to make these for us. Now my neighbor brings it over when we are recovering from surgeries.

Instructions:

1. Prep the Onions:

   • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
   • Add the peeled pearl onions and blanch for 2 minutes.
   • Drain and transfer the onions to an ice bath to cool.
   • Trim the ends and carefully peel away the outer layers.

2. Make the Creamy Sauce:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
   • Whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
   • Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form.
   • Simmer and stir frequently until the sauce thickens.

3. Season and Simmer:

   • Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt, and white pepper.
   • Add the peeled pearl onions to the sauce and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

4. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Once the onions are tender and the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove from heat.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
