For the Toast
- 1 sourdough bread loaf, sliced
For the Rarebit Topping
- 200g cheddar, grated
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 1 egg, beaten
- Toast the Bread: Place the slices of sourdough bread under a preheated grill and toast for 2-3 minutes until the exposed side is golden brown.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: While the bread is toasting, combine the grated cheddar, Dijon mustard, thinly sliced spring onions, and beaten egg in a bowl. Mix well to create a smooth, spreadable mixture.
- Spread Topping and Grill Again: Remove the toasted bread from the grill and spread the cheese mixture evenly over the untoasted sides. Return the slices under the grill and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
- Serve Immediately: Take the rarebit toasts out of the grill and serve them hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use sharp cheddar for the best flavor and meltability.
- Adjust the amount of mustard to your taste for varying tanginess.
- Ensure the grill is hot before toasting to achieve a crispy base.
- Serve rarebit toasts immediately to enjoy the melted cheese at its best.
