Welsh Rarebit Toasts

Ingredients

• 4 slices Bread
• 200 g Cheddar Cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Flour
• 100 ml Milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Mustard Powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your broiler to high heat (approximately 500°F / 260°C).
2. 2Place the 4 slices of Bread directly under the preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes per side, watching closely, until they are lightly golden brown.
3. 3In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of Butter over medium heat. Add the 1 tablespoon of Flour and stir continuously with a whisk for 1 minute, until a smooth paste forms.
4. 4Gradually pour in the 100 ml of Milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, continuing to whisk, until the sauce visibly thickens.
5. 5Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 200 g of grated Cheddar Cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of Mustard Powder, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire Sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of Black Pepper. Continue stirring until the 200 g of Cheddar Cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6. 6Evenly spread the entire cheese sauce mixture over the 4 lightly toasted slices of Bread. Place the rarebit toasts on a baking sheet.
7. 7Return the baking sheet to the preheated broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes, watching very closely, until the cheese is bubbly and has turned a golden brown color.
8. 8Serve the Welsh Rarebit Toasts immediately while hot.
