Directions
White sauce: In a medium sized sauce pot over medium heat bring to a light boil the butter and heavy cream.Whisk in cheese, add pepper and salt to taste.
Remove from heat and continue whisking until the cheese has married the cream.
If you find that the sauce is not thick enough add a bit of flour (1/4 teaspoon) mixed with water.
The sauce will thicken when it begins to cool.
It should drop slowly from the whisk.
Preheat oven 400F.
For the fish: Grab a bowl and add cake flour, egg, and seasonings.
Whisk together.
Pop open that beer, add about half of the can (7 ounces) to the bowl and whisk into a batter.
It will be a sticky batter, think pancake-ish.
Batter up! Coat each tilapia fillet with the beer batter and fry in a skillet filled with hot canola oil! Cook over medium heat until fish is goldenly delicious.
Then set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
For the pizza assembly: Grab a baking sheet, place the naans on the sheet and brush with olive oil.
Press the garlic and brush it onto the naan.
Now bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and now add the white sauce, break the tilapia on top of the sauce and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
You are just baking until the sauce heats and the flavors blend.
Serve hot.
