Welsh Rarebit

Ingredients

• 4 slices whole grain bread, sliced thick
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup dark ale, room temperature
• 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 8 ounces white cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

1. Toast the bread on both sides under broiler or toaster. It should be super toasty.
2. Add butter to a saucepan, turn heat on medium. When the butter is melted and sizzling, whisk in the flour and cook for a minute, stirring.
3. Slowly whisk in the ale until there are no lumps. Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and mustard powder. Use a spatula and stir in the cheese until it is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
4. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to slightly cool and thicken.
5. Preheat broiler.
6. Spread the cheese sauce on all of the slices of bread. Broil until bubbly, browned and melted. Serve immediately.
