Instructions

Step 1

Start by toasting the bread until it's nice and crispy. You can use a toaster or the oven for this.

Step 2

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the beer (or milk) and stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the grated cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until it's fully melted and you have a smooth cheese sauce.

Step 4

Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks. Gradually add a bit of the cheese sauce to the beaten yolks while whisking vigorously. This is called tempering and prevents the yolks from curdling when added to the hot sauce.
