Claire! Darling! I hear you on the creme fraiche thing. They’re running an ad on TV for philadelphia cheese – you stir it into milk to make your quick white sauce.
I am compelled to tell the chef on the advert (yes, every time) that I used to make a cheese sauce out of cheddar, phili and milk for Alex when he was a tot, therefore it is not a fancy cheffy thang, but the domain of the person in a hurry! Grrr. OK, I’m calm now.

Sorry, that was me being anonymous, I got overexcited by all the cheese.

Now I’m *really* hungry. At the risk of being run out of town, if I’m trying to make something in a hurry and don’t have the time/patience for proper cheese sauce then I’ve been known to make it by stirring some grated cheese into creme fraiche. It’s definitely not the same but it does kind of work – and I’m just about to go downstairs and try it with this! (I will understand if you want to revoke my commenting rights).

Yep, I bought a packet of bacon bits, but if you have rashers, just slice them up!

Anna I can’t wait to try this! YUMMO!!! So I take it you cut up the bacon before you fry it?

Yay! So glad you liked it Simone! The other thing you can add is some sliced leek – when I do that, I just fry it off with the bacon.
