Broiled fish meets beer cheese, and honestly, what took so long?

Flounder fillets get brushed with olive oil and rolled in breadcrumbs, then broiled just 4 minutes per side until the coating is crisp and the fish flakes at the touch of a fork.

The real draw is the sauce: diced American cheese melted slowly with beer, paprika, dry mustard, and Worcestershire until smooth and velvety.

Serve the golden fillets on a platter with lemon wedges and that warm cheese sauce on the side for dipping.

Pro Tips

  • Use a light lager or pilsner for the cheese sauce. Hoppy IPAs can turn bitter when reduced with cheese.
  • Stir the cheese sauce over low heat and be patient. High heat will make the cheese grainy and stringy instead of smooth.
  • Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the oiled fillets so they stick during broiling. Loose crumbs will fall off and burn on the pan.
  • American cheese melts more smoothly than aged cheeses because of its emulsifiers. It’s the right call here for a silky sauce.
