If you have ever made cheddar cheese soup or did the fondue thing, most of the ingredients will look familiar. I was trying to capture the dark cheesy flavor of both. —ohyoucook
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
1/2 teaspoon
dry mustard
-
1 dash
cayenne pepper (optional)
-
1 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce
-
3 tablespoons
unsalted butter (divided)
-
4
tilapia fillets (about 1 lb.)
-
1/2 cup
dark ale or beer
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400F.
-
Combine cheese, dry mustard, cayenne pepper (if using) and Worcestershire sauce in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
-
Grease a medium-sized rimmed baking pan with one tablespoon of the butter. Arrange fillets in a single layer in pan. Pour ale or beer over fish. Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over fish. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter; drizzle evenly over cheese mixture.
-
Place in preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese melts, coating browns and fish is opaque and cooked through. If the fish is cooked but the cheese still needs a bit of browning, place under the broiler for a minute or two, watching carefully so that it does not burn.
-
Serve immediately with potatoes and/or your favorite veggie.
