  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 6 oz (170 g) grated Cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices of toast
Make it lactose-friendly
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil
  • 4 fl oz (120 ml) double cream → lactose-free cream or coconut cream
  • 6 oz (170 g) grated Cheddar cheese → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour.
  2. Cook, whisking constantly for 2–3 minutes, being careful not to brown the flour.
  3. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Add beer and whisk to combine.
  5. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth.
  6. Gradually add cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4–5 minutes.
  7. Pour over toast and serve immediately.
