Ultimate Boozy Onion and Three Cheese Toastie
This cheese toasty takes leftover cheeses, an onion and a slug of booze, and transforms it into the food of the Gods! The caramalised onions are well worth making a batch of too, they're great for French onion soup for example.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 1 slosh of beer
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 100 g Leftover cheese (cheddar, Stilton, brie, camembert and even goat's cheese will all work well)
- 2 White sliced bread
- 5 g Butter
- 1 pinch Salt and pepper

Step-by-step
- Melt a good knob of butter gently in a pan then add the onions plus a little salt and pepper. Mix well to combine then put a lid on (leaving a small gap at the side) and let the onions cook very gently, until they are very soft, golden and not too wet.
- This will take about an hour, so you may want to make a big batch; they're good in sandwiches, pies etc.
- When the onions have reached this stage, turn up the heat and slosh in your beer and Worcestershire sauce. Let it bubble furiously until it is almost all gone.
- Preheat your sandwich toaster. Spread the butter on both pieces of bread, taking care to get good even coverage and place one, butter side down on the toaster.
- Add your cheeses on top, then follow with a layer of the onions. Place the other slice of bread on top, butter side up. Toast to your liking and enjoy.
