Welsh Bake

This recipe comes from a friend in the north of france, Yannick. It is, once again, super simple but this time requires an oven or toaster oven. It is perfect food for the morning after a night of too many drinks, or just a good anytime meal.

 

1 bottle beer or ale (i use blond beer but a brown ale or beer will work)

4 or 5 pieces rye bread (dark or light) 

sliced ham (enough for one layer)

shredded cheddar cheese (around 3 or 4 heaping handfuls)

1 teaspoon butter 

1 tablespoon dijon mustard 

1/4 c milk

In a sauce pan combine the cheese, butter and milk and half the beer over low heat. Once the cheese is melted add the dijon and stir until mixed. Preheat the oven or toaster oven to about 350 F. In a square glass baking dish place a single layer of the bread. Next drink the rest of that delicious beer. Now place the ham over the bread. Finally poor the melted cheese mixture over the top of everything. 

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. 

Good for what 'ale's' you.
