- 100g smoked haddock fillet
- 200ml milk
- All Purpose Flour
- 50g grated cheddar cheese
- Egg
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

How to Make Arbroath Toasties
- Gently heat the smoked haddock in 100ml of the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the haddock with a slotted spoon and gently flake it with a fork, setting aside.
- In the same saucepan, whisk together the flour and remaining 100ml of milk until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously, until it thickens into a creamy sauce (about 2 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cheese, egg yolk, and flaked haddock until melted and combined.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the haddock mixture using a metal spoon or spatula.
- Spoon the haddock mixture evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
- Place the toasties under a preheated broiler (grill) until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
