Equipment

mixing bowl

measuring cups and spoons

cutting board and knife

grater

fork and spoon

baking sheet

Ingredients

4 cups old cheddar, grated

2 tsp dry mustard

2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

4 Tbsp beer

2 pinches salt

2 egg yolks

2 Tbsp milk

2 Tbsp flour

8–10 thick slices of Italian, French or sourdough bread (1/2"–3/4" thick)

For garnish

green onion, sliced 

sweet peppers, diced

freshly ground pepper

tomatoes, sliced

hot sauce 

Instructions

1. Set oven to broil and move rack to top level.
2. Arrange slices of bread on the baking sheet and lightly toast each side under the broiler until golden brown. Watch carefully!
3. Meanwhile, combine grated cheese, mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, beer, salt, egg yolks, milk and flour in mixing bowl. Mix together with a fork until well blended. You can add a bit more milk, if necessary, to moisten the mixture so it can spread easily.
4. Remove bread from broiler and move the rack down to the middle level.
5. Spread each slice thickly (about 3–4 Tbsp) with the cheese mixture. Make sure you spread the mixture to the edges of the bread.
6. Sprinkle with green onions, diced sweet peppers and freshly ground black pepper.
7. Return to oven and broil for 3–5 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden.

Serve with sliced tomatoes and hot sauce if desired.
