3 tablespoons Butter the start of your creamy roux
3 tablespoons Plain flour thickens the sauce nice and smooth
400 ml Milk creamy and rich to blend with the cheese
80 g Grated cheddar melt together for ooey gooey cheesy bliss
70 g Mozzarella melt together for ooey gooey cheesy bliss
3 tablespoons Sliced jalapenos plus 2 tablespoons brine for that spicy, tangy punch
2 Spring onions sliced
1 Beef tomato diced, seeds removed
4-5 Jalapeno slices diced
Handful Cilantro fresh toppings to jazz up the fries
2-3 tablespoons Sour cream or Greek yoghurt mixed with 0.5 teaspoon garlic granules and half a lemon juiced for a zesty dollop

Preheat your oven following the oven fries instructions. Spread the fries on a baking sheet. Spray with oil and toss with Cajun seasoning.
Bake fries in the oven until crispy and golden, following package instructions for timing.
Dice the red bell pepper and set it aside.

Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking for about 5 minutes until thick and creamy.
