Meet the chef\"\"<\/a> <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kacie Morgan (BA 2010)<\/strong> is an award-winning food and travel writer, who started her popular food blog, The Rare Welsh Bit, shortly after graduating with a degree in journalism. This is one of her favourite recipes, she loves it so much she even named her blog after it!<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great recipe for using up any leftover beer (yeah, right!), cheese or stale bread and it works well for a light pre- or post-lecture lunch. When I was at university, it served as a tasty way to line my stomach ahead of a night out too!\u201d<\/p>\n

Let’s get cooking…<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Shopping list
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 thick slices of white bread<\/p>\n

250g of Welsh cheddar cheese or Caerphilly cheese, grated<\/p>\n

70ml\/3\u00bd<\/strong> tablespoons of beer, ale or stout<\/p>\n

1 free-range egg, beaten or 20g of unsalted Welsh butter, melted<\/p>\n

1\u00bd<\/strong> tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon of English mustard or 1 teaspoon of English mustard powder<\/p>\n

What you\u2019ll need <\/strong><\/p>\n

Medium-sized bowl<\/p>\n

Cheese grater<\/p>\n

Baking tray<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Step 1<\/p>\n

Lightly toast the bread and preheat the grill.<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/p>\n

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the grated cheese, beer or ale, melted butter or egg, Worcestershire sauce and English mustard or mustard powder.<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/p>\n

Divide the mixture between the four slices of toast and spread the mixture over each slice using a knife or spatula, covering the crusts too.<\/p>\n

Step 4<\/p>\n

Put the toast slices onto a baking tray and carefully place under a hot grill for 5-10 minutes, until golden and bubbling.<\/p>\n

Step 5<\/p>\n

Carefully remove from the grill, cut each slice in half and serve hot, either alone or teamed with a side salad and fruity chutney.<\/p>\n

Optional <\/strong><\/p>\n

For a vegetarian\/vegan alternative, use vegan cheese, vegan Worcestershire sauce and dairy-free butter.<\/p>\n

Our Student Union tester, Chris Grieve (Biochemistry 2019-) VP Societies, says\u2026\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThese are a great veggie option before a night out, just make sure you use all the mixture and spread across the whole toast, or you’ll end up with burnt corners like mine!\u201d<\/p>\n
