1- In a saucepan, pour a few drops of water then the milk, salt, pepper, butter in pieces and nutmeg. Bring to a boil.
2- Then pour in your semolina and cook for about ten minutes, continuously stirring with a wooden spatula.
3- Off the heat, quickly add your beaten egg and 60 g of Parmesan.
4- Remove your baking sheet from the oven and place a non-stick mat on it, then pour your mixture onto it. Level with the spatula so the height is 2 to 3 cm then let cool.
5- When everything is well set, using a slightly oiled cookie cutter (8 to 10 cm), carefully remove your gnocchi one by one into a large porcelain dish, overlapping them, then remold the leftovers to make more.
6- Preheat your oven to 210°C (Gas Mark 7)
7- Sprinkle the gnocchi with the remaining Parmesan and drizzle a little clarified butter over each, then place in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes until they are well gratinéed.
