A lovely snack ready in minutes.
Ingredients
8 oz (225 g) Farmhouse Welsh Cheddar, grated
1 rounded teaspoon
mustard powder
1 tablespoon plain flour 4 tablespoons brown
ale
1 large egg, beaten
1 rounded dessertspoon grated onion (optional) 4 large, thick slices
good quality bread
1 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce A twist of freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
a pinch cayenne
pepper
Method
- Begin by mixing all the ingredients together, apart from the
bread and cayenne pepper.
- Now place the bread under the grill and toast it on
both sides till crisp and golden, then remove it to a toast rack for 3 minutes
to get really crisp.
- After that, divide the cheese mixture into 4, spread it over
the toast – right to the edges so they don't get burnt – then sprinkle each one
with a light dusting of cayenne pepper.
- Then back they go under the grill, 3
inches (7.5 cm) from the heat, until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling,
which will take 4-5 minutes.
Serve it just as it is or with some salad leaves
and a sharp vinaigrette dressing |
