1/2 cup Parmesan

1 pint (2 cups) heavy cream

3 tablespoons English dry mustard

4 dashes (about 1/2 teaspoon) Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 1/2 pounds English sharp Cheddar, grated

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Slice bread into 1/2-inch thick slices, butter each slice, sprinkle with Parmesan and place on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown.
  3. Whisk cream, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper together in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly and gradually adding Cheddar.

I loved the bread, but the cheese sauce wasn't as good as others... averaged out to three stars. I'll do this to the bread the next time I make welsh rarebit.
