Keep the winter chills at bay

Our Beer Garden seed kit will definitely keep your favourite beer drinker well-lubricated, but the amber nectar comes in handy for cooking too.

As soon as the first batch of home brew is ready, they might be tempted to drink the lot, but steal a few spoonfuls for this luxuriously sumptuous cheese on toast and you won’t be disappointed. Serves 4

 

250g mature cheddar, grated

1 egg, beaten

2 tbsp. beer

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp. wholegrain mustard

Few drops Tabasco sauce

4 large slices of bread

1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives or parsley

Mix the cheese, egg, beer, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and Tabasco sauce together in a small bowl.

Toast the bread and spread the mixture evenly between the slices. Place under a hot grill and cook until the rarebit mixture is hot, bubbling and golden brown.

Sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve with a fresh green salad.
