British 15 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook


  1. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over a medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika and non-alcoholic beer.
  2. Grate the cheeses.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cheeses until melted. Season with salt. Allow to cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolk.
  4. Preheat the oven to grill.
  5. Lightly toast the sourdough slices. Spoon the cheese mixture generously over the top. Place the toast under the grill for 3-4 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with a crisp salad or a side of pickles for extra tang.
