Step 1

Lightly toast the bread under a preheated grill or in a toaster.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the grated cheese, beer or ale, butter, Worcestershire sauce and English mustard. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Spread a generous layer of the mixture over each slice of toast, ensuring it covers the crusts too.

Step 4

Transfer each slice onto a baking tray and place directly underneath the grill for five minutes or so, until golden brown and bubbling.

Step 5

Carefully remove from the oven, cut each slice in half and serve hot, either alone or teamed with a crisp green salad and rich, fruity chutney.
