The Welsh, the simplest recipe in the world, but SO delicious and decadent! This dish comes from the north of France, in the area of Lille. A delight that I was able to taste during my recent trip to this beautiful corner of paradise!

Ingredients

4 large slices of bread from a Belgian loaf
8 slices Black Forest ham
280 g Balderson extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
200 g Canotier de l’Isle cheese with the rind, grated
3/4 cup Belgian blond beer
2 tablespoons grain mustard
Salt and pepper from the mill

Preparation

Preheat oven to BROIL.
In the oven or in the toaster, toast the slices of bread on each side. Place in a large baking dish with high sides, put 2 slices of ham per bread and set aside.
In a nonstick saucepan over medium heat, add the cheese, beer and mustard then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring, until the cheese is melted. The mixture will be a little liquid and that’s perfect! Pour the mixture over the slices of bread.
Place in the oven, cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown on top!

Robin

Strong blonde beer, it was fermented with maple syrup and with cryoconcentrate apple juice and then matured in oak barrels for 12 months. She will offer rich flavors of candied fruit, spices and apples that will join the aromas of the beer of the recipe, while bringing candied aromas that we love with cheddar cheese. Its high alcohol level will cut into the fat of the dish. A combo for a TV set on Saturday evening! See the product
