Stilton & chutney rarebit bites

Ingredients

For the chutney 2 red onion, thinly sliced 4 tbsp muscovado sugar 100ml balsamic vinegar

For the rarebit 300g Stilton, crumbled 200g Parmesan(or vegetarian alternative), grated 2 tbsp crème fraîche 2 egg, beaten 2 tsp wholegrain mustard 6 slices sourdough bread or German rye bread

Method

1. Put the onions, sugar and vinegar into a large pan on a low heat. Cook for about 25 mins, stirring now and again, until gloopy and sticky. Cool. Mix together the cheeses, crème fraîche, eggs and mustard with some seasoning, then chill.

2. To serve, heat the grill, lightly toast the bread and cut each slice into chunks. Put onto a baking sheet, spread a tsp of chutney on each chunk, then pile on the rarebit mixture – as much as the little squares can hold. Grill for 3-5 mins until golden brown and bubbling.
