Materials

Instructions

For The Fries:

  • Cook shallots and garlic until soft and fragrant.
  • Sprinkle flour into the pan and stir continuously, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in the beef stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce; taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Bring the gravy to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened.
  • Remove gravy from heat and set aside.

Finish The Dish:

  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the fries.
  • Place fries in the over on broil for another 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
