Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup porter beer

3/4 cup heavy cream

6 ounces (approximately 1 1/2 cups) shredded Cheddar

2 drops hot sauce

4 slices toasted rye bread

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to brown the flour. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add beer and whisk to combine. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth. Gradually add cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4 to 5 minutes. Add hot sauce. Pour over toast and serve immediately.

I have made this many times and am never disappointed. Even using vegetarian-friendly Worcestershire sauce doesn’t alter the taste. I used Guinness a few times and thought that was good, but I used Edmund Fitzgerald porter the last few times and it added depth. Delicious!
