Ingredients

French Baguette - 1 piece
Wheat Flour - 1 tablespoon
Butter - 3.5 oz
Dark Ale - 7 fl oz
Milk - 3 fl oz
Mustard Greens - 1 tablespoon
Cheshire Cheese - 7.1 oz
Whole egg - 2 pieces
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Slice the white baguette into thin pieces, spread butter on both sides of the slices, and place them in an oven preheated to 392°F for three to four minutes.

Step 2

In the meantime, prepare the sauce in a skillet. Sauté one tablespoon of all-purpose flour in butter, stirring constantly, until it turns a golden caramel color. This is how a thickening agent is made — the French call it "roux."

Step 3

Pour half a pint of dark beer or cider, along with 100 ml of milk, into the thickener and whisk it all together. Add a tablespoon of dry mustard, a pinch of ground black pepper, and grated cheddar cheese (which can be substituted with cheese curds). Let this mixture simmer gently over low heat for about a minute, then remove from the heat. Once the bubbling subsides, whisk in two egg yolks into the sauce.
