Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh or salted cod (soaked if salted)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Boil the cod for 5-7 minutes, then drain and flake it into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Gradually add the milk and cream, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
5. Stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
6. Combine the flaked cod with the cheese sauce and pour it into a greased baking dish.
7. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
8. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

If you have ever tried a Canadian “Beavertail”, the Touton is similar, but the dough isn’t sweet, just the toppings.
