Instructions
Step 1
Gather the .
Step 2
Cut the ciabatta or sourdough loaf into 2 cm (1 inch) thick slices. Place in a hot oven for 5 to 8 minutes to crisp and lightly brown (do not overcook or the bread will become hard, it should still be slightly chewy).
Step 3
Rest the toast on a cooling rack to keep crisp while preparing the rarebit.
Step 4
Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan and add the leeks. Gently sweat the leeks for 2 to 3 minutes to soften but not brown, taking care to make sure they do not burn.
Step 5
Stir in the flour and mustard powder—the leeks will become very thick but do not worry. Gradually stir in the milk, constantly stirring, and bring to simmering point to make a thick sauce. Continue to cook the sauce for a few minutes, keeping a close eye on the sauce, to cook out the flavor of the flour, not cooking will leave a raw flavor to the sauce.
Step 6
Stir in your chosen goats’ cheese until melted. Season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 7
Generously spoon rarebit onto the toasted ciabatta. Brown under the grill until bubbling and serve immediately.
