Author A Pleasant Little Kitchen | March 20, 2025

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

6 to 8 slices of quality white bread

3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon flour

3 teaspoons dry mustard 

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2/3 cup stout beer

3 heaping teaspoons Worcestershire

2 cups Irish White Cheddar cheese, grated

2 egg yolks

Instructions

Adjust the oven rack to the middle of the oven. Heat to 400 degrees F.

Place the bread on a sheet pan. Brush the melted butter onto the slices of bread. Place into the oven and toast for 4 minutes. Remove from the oven. Turn on the broiler.

In a saucepan melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and let cook for 2 minutes. Add the dry mustard and salt. Whisk to combine.

Add the stout and Worcestershire to the mixture and continue to whisk until combined. Add the cheese and let melt, stirring occasionally about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from the heat and while whisking constantly, add the egg yolks one at a time. Continue to whisk until all ingredients are incorporated. Spread the sauce onto the toasted bread. Place back into the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbly and browned. 

Serve warm and immediately.
