Instructions
Instructions
- Combine whole milk, heavy cream, horseradish, shallots, garlic, cloves, peppercorn, salt, dijon mustard and cheese rinds in a pan and bring to simmer.
- Simmer for 30 to 45 min.
- Strain liquid and set aside.
- Melt butter in a heavy bottom pan.
- Add flour to form a roux and stir over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Keep on the stove and slowly add the milk into the roux, stirring until it forms a thick mixture.
- Once all the milk is added, allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour sauce into a large mixing bowl.
- Add your cheeses, Worcestershire sauce and egg yolks. Tip: pour a bit of your sauce into your mixed egg yolks before adding to the bowl. This will keep your eggs from scrambling.
- Place in the refrigerator to cool.
- Cut bread into thick slices and place under a broiler for 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly toasted.
- Flip the bread over and apply a thick layer of your cheese sauce.
- Place in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown.
