Wash the heads of lettuce, removing thick, bitter stalks and keeping all the good leaves. Cook in boiling, salted water for 10-15 minutes, then blanch in cold water. Drain, then chop lightly.
Heat the chopped lettuce with the white sauce seasoned with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. After simmering for a few minutes in the sauce, draw to a cooler part of the range and stir in the beaten egg yolks.
