Tue, Oct 26 2010If you add a teaspoon of prepared mustard (like english mustard) or ground mustard seed, it enhances the cheese and the sauce will taste a lot more cheesy.
To make 'welsh rarebit' (a traditional english dish) you heat some bread, spread this cheesey sauce on and cook under a grill until the sauce bubbles and goes a bit brown. In england it's traditional to make it with toasted white bread but I think it's better on a naan or bhatura
