Chili Cheese on Toast

Click here to load this recipe into a page that is easy to print.

Make your toast in the usual way.

Butter the toast, add the Afterburn chili cheddar as you like, add cherry tomatoes halfs, some onion and a drizzle of olive oil.

Cheese on toast will never taste the same again. Beware, there is no turning back - ordinary cheese on toast will taste very bland after this.

Buck Rarebit recipe - Serves 4

Click here to load this recipe into a page that is easy to print.

  Ingredient Quantity
  Taw Valley Tasty cheddar cheese 100-150g
  Eggs 4
  Butter or margarine 25g
  Plain flour 1 tbsp
  Milk 75 ml
  French mustard 1 tsp
  Worcestershire Sauce few drops
  Bread slices 4
  Salt and pepper to taste

Grate the cheese.

Melt the fat in a pan on a medium heat and stir in the flour. Keep stirring for 2 to 3 minutes but make sure the flour does not burn. This will create a basic rue sauce.

Add a small amount of the milk at a time, while continuously stirring. Keep adding until all the milk has gone. Do not let the mixture get lumpy - keep stirring fast. Add the mustard and Worcestershire Sauce.

Add the cheese little by little, stirring in as you do so it doesn't get lumpy and season to taste. When all the cheese has been added and is well blended, remove the pan from the heat.

Lightly toast the bread on both sides. Butter one side and then spread the cheese mixture on the buttered sides. If you like, grill briefly, on a high heat, to brown the surface of the cheese.

Top each with a poached egg and serve.
