Ingredients
- 1 oz butter (¼ stick)
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 8 oz Irish cheddar (like Kerrygold Dubliner or you can use another melty cheese)
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp English mustard (prepared, or substitute your favorite mustard, or omit)
- ⅛ tsp black pepper (freshly grated, to taste)
- 2 Tbsp gherkin (or cornichons, chopped)
- 4 lices bread (good quality, toasted)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then add the milk and grated cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and becomes smooth.
- Add the vinegar, mustard, black pepper and gherkins; stir to combine and remove from heat.
- Allow to cool slightly, stirring occasionally. Preheat the broiler (grill) then place the four pieces of toast on a baking sheet and divide the cheese mixture evenly between them.
- Place under the broiler, until bubbly and hot; place on plates and serve with gherkins/cornichons and salad, if desired.

Notes
- I have used an herbed Havarti cheese which was delicious as well!
