These sole filets are very tasteful because the fish goes very well with the cheese (after all), and the sauce made with cognac and heavy cream is just splendid, it gives an eccentric character to the dish that pleases me the most! In order to taste the cognac you need to eat the filets with some sauce on top and if you want to taste it more, you just need to add one more teaspoon of cognac to the sauce! It’s up to you to decide and go ahead and make this dish because you worth it :-)
