What a fabulous version of this classic! Absolutely marvelous - made exactly as posted with the exception Demerara sugar for the brown. Used a very dry Pinot Grigio - perhaps a bit more than called for (nod to Julia Child). Served with a late summer vegetable tian of eggplant, zucchini, roasted red pepper, spinach with a bit of feta & fresh mozzarella. No a bit left over! Will be keeping this pairing as the flavors complement each other so well. Thank you Alan for another lovely keeper recipe!
