Ingredients

• 2 slices Thick slices of bread (preferably sourdough or a rustic loaf)
• 150 grams Sharp cheddar cheese
• 30 grams Butter
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar (for poaching eggs)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Optional: Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your broiler (or grill) to medium-high heat and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Toast the slices of bread lightly under the broiler until just golden on both sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Grate the cheddar cheese and melt 20 grams of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 4

Stir the grated cheese into the melted butter and add 2 tablespoons of milk. Add the Worcestershire sauce if using. Stir gently to create a smooth, thick cheese sauce, then remove the mixture from the heat.

Step 5

Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water and lightly stir to create a gentle whirlpool.

Step 6

Crack one egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the second egg. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Step 7

Spread the remaining 10 grams of butter over the toasted slices of bread. Spoon the warm cheese mixture generously onto each piece, spreading to cover the bread evenly.

Step 8

Place the cheese-covered toast under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the cheese toast from the broiler, place one poached egg on top of each slice, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Yorkshire Buck!
