Step 1

Cut the celery stalks 15 cm from the heart. Remove the outer leaves. Rinse well. Boil a large pot of salted water, add the celery hearts, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and let excess water drain.

Step 2

Melt the butter with the oil in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, then slowly pour in the milk and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add salt to taste.

Step 3

Place the celery in a baking dish and pour the sauce over it to completely cover. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for 15 minutes at 356°F until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately in the same dish.
