  5. 5 minutes, until soft and wilted. In a bowl, combine the cheese, Worcestershire sauce, egg yolk, mustard and cayenne, mashing well. Add the leeks and mix well. Add the beer and mix to a spreadable paste, adding a little more if it’s too thick.
  6. Spread the cheese mixture over the toast, right to the edges. Place under the grill for 2 minutes or until hot and melted. Ladle the soup into serving bowls, top with bay leaves and serve with the Welsh rarebit.
