| 2. | In a separate saucepan, warm the milk. Cut the bacon into small pieces and render until brown and crispy. Remove the bacon onto a paper towel, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan. Brown the shallots in the same pan, then add the butter and let it melt. Whisk in the flour and stir for a few minutes. Slowly pour in the warm milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Season with ground nutmeg, shredded Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Finally, fold in the prepared chard. |
