The base of this comforting sauce is the humble onion, slowly cooked in butter until it reaches a soft, golden perfection.

By adding chopped white bread, the sauce becomes velvety and thick, making it a perfect accompaniment to roasted vegetables, grilled cheese, or even a simple baked potato. The addition of crème fraîche at the end elevates the sauce with a luscious creaminess that will keep you coming back for more.
