Extract the onion and add the slightly beaten egg, stirring until well incorporated. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of nutmeg. Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into the vegetable dish.

Pour the milk and egg mixture over the potatoes. Cover with the grated cheese and dot with the remaining butter. Bake 45 minutes.

Serves 4.
