  • 1tsp dried mustard powder
  • 2 free-range egg yolks
  • 1tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 4 thick slices sourdough bread

For the extra toppings

  1. Preheat the grill to its highest setting.

  2. Place the cheese, mustard powder, egg yolks, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper in a bowl and mix well.

  3. Toast the bread on one side, then cover the untoasted side with either caramelised onions or a slice of smoked ham. Divide the rarebit mixture between the slices of toast, ensuring that all the edges are covered.
