- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

- 2 pieces Thick slices of bread

Instructions
Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 15-20 seconds until melted.
Stir in the flour to create a smooth paste (roux).
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and lump-free.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, stopping to stir halfway through, until it thickens slightly.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute total.
Toast the bread slices in a toaster until lightly browned.
Place the toasted bread on a microwave-safe plate and spoon the cheese sauce evenly over each slice.
Optionally sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for extra flavor and presentation.
Microwave the assembled rarebits on high for 30-45 seconds, just until hot and bubbling.
