Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup coarsely grated Dubliner cheese
- 2 medium plum tomatoes seeded and diced (1/4-inch)
- 3 ounces smoked trout (or salmon) chopped
- 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Toasted baguette slices or crackers for serving
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the flour and continue cooking, stirring continually, until smooth and pale golden in color, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Whisk in the milk gradually, cooking until smooth and well blended, then add the cheese, 1/4 cup at a time, making sure the last addition is blended before adding more.
- Stir in the tomatoes, smoked fish, and chives, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute longer, stirring constantly. Transfer to a crock and serve immediately with slices of toasted baguette.
