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 lices bread
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.
