4 slices homemade-type white bread, trimmed of crusts and toasted
2 cups (500 ml) freshly grated sharp Cheddar cheese (approx. 1/2 lb, 225 g)
combined with 1 Tbs (15 ml) flour
1/4 cup (60 ml) beer
1 Tbs (15 ml) butter
1 tsp (5 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp (1 ml) dry English mustard
A pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions:
Combine in a heavy 2 to 3 qt (2 to 3 L) saucepan the cheese and flour
mixture, beer, butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and cayenne pepper.
Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly and not allowing the mixture
to boil, until it is smooth. Place the slices of toast in a shallow
ovenproof dish just large enough to hold them (you may use more than one
dish if you do not have one the right size to fit all four pieces snugly)
and pour the rabbit evenly over them. Place the dish under the broiler for
one or two minutes to brown the cheese lightly and serve immediately.
Serves 2 to 4.
