  2. Grill the bacon until crisp. Mix with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  3. Drizzle the tomatoes with balsamic and olive oil and roast for 10 minutes or until soft.
  4. In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour, stirring continuously, to form a paste.
  5. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and gradually add the milk and cream, whisking continuously. Return to the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the Emmenthal and nutmeg and season.
