Gather @cheddar cheese{300%g}, @all-purpose flour{20%g}, @cayenne pepper{1%pinch} and @white bread{4%slice}.

Melt the @butter{30%g} in a small pan, whisk in the flour, and cook 1 minute to make a pale roux.

Pour in the @beer{120%ml} gradually, whisking to a smooth, thick sauce.

Off the heat, stir in the cheddar a handful at a time until melted and glossy, then season with @mustard powder{1%tsp}, @worcestershire sauce{1%tbsp} and cayenne.

Let the sauce cool 2 minutes, then beat in the @egg yolk{1}.

Toast the bread lightly, then spread the cheese mixture thickly right to the edges.

Grill under a hot broiler until bubbling and deeply spotted with brown. ~{4%minutes}

Serve immediately, while the top is still cracking.
