2 T butter or olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 large carrots, diced
1 rib celery, diced
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup skim milk

Using a biscuit round or mold, cut out dough to cover the tops of your oven-proof bowls, with about 1/2-inch hangover, depending on their size. Crimp the dough over the edge of the ramekin. Brush with the egg wash and make 4 small slits on the top. Sprinkle with kosher salt and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
