Ingredients
125ml Lactofree fresh dairy drink (whole or semi-skimmed)
400g Lactofree semi-hard cheese
1 tbsp flour
175g fresh white breadcrumbs
1 heaped tsp English mustard powder
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
120ml ale, cider or Guinness (your preference)
1 egg, plus 1 yolk
6-8 slices, toasted crusty bread
Instructions
1. Heat the Lactofree dairy drink in a pan, whisk in the flour and bring to the boil. Allow to bubble until slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to low and add the grated Lactofree semi-hard cheese. Stir briefly until melted, then add the breadcrumbs, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce and your choice of alcohol. Cook, stirring, until the mixture starts to leave the side of the saucepan. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
2. Put the mixture in a food processor and add the eggs while it’s mixing. Keep it running for about a minute, then season with ground black pepper. Spread onto the toast and grill until browned and golden.
3. Serve with cherry tomatoes, a drizzle of balsamic and even a sprinkling of herbs or seeds.
