A classic recipe from Wales consisting of a melted cheese mixture put on top of toast and grilled until brown and bubbly: a glorified cheese on toast.

Equipment

  • 1 toaster
  • 1 baking tray

Ingredients

  • 4 oz Cheddar cheese (strong/mature)
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp English mustard or French or a mild German
  • 1 tsp flour
  • 3 Tbsp Guinness
  • 2 slices bread
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Toast the bread on one side only (use a broiler/grill if your toaster doesn't have this function).
  • Put all of the ingredients, except for the toast and Guinness, into a pan, with the butter at the bottom, and place over a low heat.
  • Add the Guinness, then stir to combine the ingredients. Don't worry if you think it's too dry, the cheese mixture won't be very wet.
  • Preheat the broiler/grill at this time.
  • Continue to stir the cheese mixture until a smooth paste forms, then pour over the untoasted side of the slices of bread.
  • Place on a baking tray and put under a preheated broiler/grill for a minute or so or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • This can serve 2 smaller appetites.
