How to Make Arbroath Toasties

  1. Gently heat the smoked haddock in 100ml of the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Remove the haddock with a slotted spoon and gently flake it with a fork, setting aside.
  4. In the same saucepan, whisk together the flour and remaining 100ml of milk until smooth.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously, until it thickens into a creamy sauce (about 2 minutes).
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cheese, egg yolk, and flaked haddock until melted and combined.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the egg whites into the haddock mixture using a metal spoon or spatula.
  10. Spoon the haddock mixture evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
  11. Place the toasties under a preheated broiler (grill) until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
