Add rosemary sprigs and sage leaves and simmer for about 2 hours over low heat.

Remove rosemary sprigs and sage leaves.

Béchamel sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter for 5 minutes over low heat, then add the flour. Mix well to obtain a roux.

Add the milk and nutmeg, then continue cooking for 15 minutes over low heat, without stopping to stir. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 150°C (th. 5).

Take the dough out of the refrigerator.

On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 mm and cut into sheets the size of the baking dish.
