Cheese and beer on toast!

Sorted Crew Blog image

Every student knows how to make cheese on toast. This twist combines the classic idea of Welshe rarebit with another ingredient synonymous with students – beer!

  • butter (25g)
  • plain flour (25g)
  • beer, preferably ale (125ml)
  • strong cheddar cheese (125g)
  • blob of wholegrain mustard
  • splash of Worchestershire sauce
  • pinch of salt
  • couple of slices of bread, preferably wholegrain.

 

pre-heat the grill.

melt the butter in a small pan and throw in the flour.

cook out on a gentle heat to form a thick paste for a minute or two, keep it moving.

pour in the ale a bit at a time, stirring well to incorporate each time.

grate the cheese and add to the mix, heating gently to melt.

toast the bread until lightly golden.

beat in the mustard and Worcestershire sauce and season to taste.

spoon the mix onto the toast and place under the hot grill to bubble and turn golden.

 

Tip

Don’t forget to swig at the rest of the beer as you cook. Chefs treat!
