For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese sauce. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or a smoked Cheddar, to create your unique variation. If the cheese sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of beer or cream to thin it out. Serve with a side of Worcestershire sauce for drizzling.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. (1 minute)
02
StepAdd the flour and whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the mixture remains smooth and doesn't brown. This creates a roux, the base of our sauce. (3 minutes)
03
StepWhisk in the Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, and pepper until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture is velvety smooth. (1 minute)
04
StepGradually whisk in the British beer until fully incorporated. (2 minutes)
05
StepPour in the heavy cream and whisk until the sauce is smooth and consistent. (1 minute)
06
StepReduce the heat to low. Add the shredded Cheddar cheese gradually, stirring constantly, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and luscious. (5 minutes)
07
StepRemove the cheese sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
08
StepWhisk in the egg yolks one at a time until they are fully incorporated into the cheese sauce, enriching it and adding a beautiful sheen. (2 minutes)
09
StepPosition the oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.
10
StepToast the bread slices on one side until lightly golden. (3 minutes)
11
StepArrange the toasted bread slices on a baking sheet with the untoasted side facing up. Generously spoon the cheese sauce over the untoasted side of each slice. (4 minutes)
12
StepPlace the baking sheet under the preheated broiler and broil until the cheese sauce is bubbling and beautifully golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (3 minutes)
13
StepRemove from the broiler and serve immediately. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this classic Welsh Rarebit!
