Ingredients

  • 3 red onions
  • 1½ tbsp butter
  • big pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp dark brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 50ml stout
  • 1 tsp English mustard
  • 75g grated cheddar
  • splash of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small egg
  • 2 slices of toast

Method

  1. Finely slice the red onions, then tip them into a large frying pan with the butter and a big pinch of salt. Cover and cook on a low-medium heat for 30 mins, stirring regularly. Take off the lid, then scatter with the sugar, season well and cook for 5 more mins until caramelised.

  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan, then whisk in the stout and the English mustard. Stir in the grated cheddar and whisk until melted, then season and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Take off the heat, then whisk in the egg. Divide the onions between two toasts, top with dollops of the cheesy sauce, then grill for 2-3 mins until browning and bubbling.
