Instructions

  1. Toast the bread on one side only (use a broiler/grill if your toaster doesn't have this function).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Preheat the broiler/grill at this time.
  5. Continue to stir the cheese mixture until a smooth paste forms, then pour over the untoasted side of the slices of bread.
  6. Place on a baking tray and put under a preheated broiler/grill for a minute or so or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
