Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Mustard powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if toasting the bread in the oven. Otherwise, toast the bread using a toaster to your desired level of crispness.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the milk to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and slowly drizzle them into the milk mixture while stirring continuously. Make sure the heat remains low to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Add the grated cheddar cheese to the saucepan. Stir until the cheese melts completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Lay the toasted bread slices on serving plates and evenly pour the cheese mixture over each slice, spreading it gently with a spoon if needed.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this classic English Monkey Breakfast Snack with tea or coffee!
