Ingredients
- 140g lancashire cheese, roughly chopped (see tip)
- ½ tsp English mustard powder
- A few splashes of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 medium free-range egg yolks
- 60ml Guinness, or other stout or porter
- 4 sourdough bread slices, lightly toasted
Method
- Put all the ingredients except the slices of toast in a food processor and blend to a thick paste.
- Heat the grill to high, then divide the cheese mixture equally among the slices of toast and press down lightly with the back of a spoon. Put the cheese-covered slices on a lined baking sheet and grill until the cheese is golden, bubbling and dark in places. Serve immediately with a green salad, if you like
delicious. tips
One of the keys to a luscious yet calorifically virtuous rarebit is top-quality, well-flavoured cheese. We love Mrs Kirkham’s lancashire (from speciality food shops and at Waitrose), which has a satisfying tang.
