Cheese Fries + Trout Roe

INGREDIENTS:

30 g butter

30 g all-purpose flour

300 ml milk

50 ml dry white wine

100 g Wagon Wheel Cheese, grated

1oz Jar Tsar Nicoulai smoked trout roe

HOW TO:

Make white roux

Add butter to a saucepan and place over low heat. Add the flour and 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes over low heat, mixing constantly with a whisk. The butter and flour mixture must remain white. In a bowl, combine milk and white wine.

Make white roux

Mix 1/4 of the liquid (milk and white wine mixture) into the flour mixture. Mix vigorously until you get a nice, smooth, thick mixture, then gradually pour in the rest of the liquid, whisking constantly. Add the bay leaf, increase the heat and bring to a light boil, still whisking constantly.

Add the cheese

After about 5 minutes of cooking, remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the grated Wagon Wheel cheese. Mix very well to get a nice, silky sauce.

Preparation

Add sauce to your favorite fries. Top with smoked trout roe and enjoy!
