1
Prepare the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
2
Add Milk and Cheese
Slowly add the milk to the roux, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
3
Season the Sauce
Mix in the mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
4
Assemble the Dish
Place the toasted bread on a baking sheet and pour the cheese sauce over the top, ensuring it is evenly covered.
5
Broil the Rarebit
Place the baking sheet under a broiler for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
6
Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot with extra seasoning if desired.
