Como fazer Westcountry Rarebit Crostini With Caramelised Shallots
- **Prepare the Crostini:** Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice a baguette (about 1 pound) diagonally into 1cm thick rounds. Brush both sides of each round with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Divide 2 cloves minced garlic evenly among the rounds, rubbing it into the bread. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- **Caramelize the Shallots:** While the crostini bake, toss 1 cup sliced shallots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Roast alongside the crostini for 20-30 minutes, or until softened and caramelized. Cover with damp parchment paper if they brown too quickly. Halve the shallots once cooked.
- **Make the Rarebit:** In a medium saucepan, gently heat 1/2 cup milk. Do not boil. Stir in 8 ounces grated extra mature cheddar cheese (or similar strong cheese) until melted and smooth.
- **Thicken the Sauce:** Whisk in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder until combined. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (adjust to taste) and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (adjust to taste). Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a paste.
- **Add the Eggs:** Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in 2 large egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- **Assemble & Bake:** Spoon the rarebit mixture onto the prepared crostini, topping each with several halves of caramelized shallots. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- **Garnish & Serve:** Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
