Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 slices of bread preferably crusty
  • 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan

  • Toaster or oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving plates

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  3. Whisk in the milk until well combined.
  4. Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  5. Add the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce to the cheese mixture.
  6. Sprinkle in cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to taste.
