3631. POUTINE with GOAT CHEESE and BACON

1 bag of your frozen french fry of choice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese + 4 additional tablespoons for topping
2 cups chicken stock

4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Once preheated, bake your fries for 30-35 minutes, flipping once half way through. Melt your butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add your flour and 2 tablespoons of goat cheese and stir until incorporated. Continue to stir the mixture for 2-3 minutes. After 2-3 minutes, add your chicken stock to the flour/butter/cheese mixture. Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally, allowing the mixture to thicken and become 'gravy-like'. Once your gravy has thickened, place your baked fries on a large plate - sprinkle the remaining 4 tablespoons of goat cheese over the fries, then pour the gravy on top, and then lastly, sprinkle the bacon crumbles. Serve hot.
