Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 120 milliliters Semi-skimmed milk
- 1 teaspoon Whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Light butter or margarine
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Whole-grain bread slices
Instructions
Grate the reduced-fat cheddar cheese and set aside.
Place the light butter or margarine in a small saucepan and melt over low heat.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually add the semi-skimmed milk, whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated cheese, allowing it to melt completely.
Add the whole-grain mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine and remove the mixture from heat.
Toast the slices of whole-grain bread lightly, either in a toaster or under a broiler.
Spread the cheese mixture generously over the toasted bread slices, ensuring even coverage.
Place the topped bread slices under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese mixture is bubbling and lightly browned.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat Welsh rarebit!
