Julia Child's White Wine Poached Fish with Cream Sauce

Obsessed with pears at the moment...especially pear cake. New favourite ingredients: fennel root and fish sauce. Also, gluten-free, though I do save recipes that aren't.

2 tablespoons minced shallots or green onions

2½ pounds skinless boneless sole or flounder filets (to be quite honest I went cheap and used tilapia)

Salt and pepper

1½ tablespoons butter cut into bits

1½ cups dry white wine

3 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons flour (since I am avoiding grains right now I used 1 teaspoon xanthan gum)

¾ cup milk

2 egg yolks

½ cup whipped cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons Swiss or cheddar cheese
