Tie the fillets with kitchen twine to prevent them from losing their shape
Season the fillets with salt and black pepper
In a large skillet, melt the butter over high heat and fry the fillets, two at a time, until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side)
Remove the fillets, remove the string and place them back in the skillet
Heat the cognac in a metal bowl over medium heat
Slightly incline the bowl to allow the liquid to catch fire and pour it still burning over the meat
Wait for it to die out and sprinkle the cheese over the fillets
Cover, reduce the flame and let the cheese melt
Transfer the meat and sauce to a serving dish and serve immediately.
