Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to broil.

Place the bread on a sheet tray in an even layer. Place in the oven to toast (about 1 minute per side).

In a medium saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour to form a dry paste. Stir in the mustard then slowly add beer while whisking. Cook for 3 minutes then stir in cream. Reduce to low and allow to cook for 3-4 more minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, stir in cheese until melted and adjust seasoning to taste.

Place the bread on a sheet pan and top each piece with a generous amount of sauce. Place under the broiler for 2 minutes or until lightly golden brown in spots.

Remove and serve warm with a garnish of parsley.

Makes 8 servings.
