In honor of the upcoming Kentucky Derby, I bring you Kentucky Beer Cheese Toast. No neither the beer nor the cheese is indigenous to Kentucky. I guess this recipe got it’s name because it is a classic Kentucky horse country dish. Whatever, all I know is the Derby represents another reason to drink and wear funny hats. Oh and this cheese mixture is great on crackers as well.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb extra sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3/4 cup Guiness beer
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Creole mustard (substitute Dijon if necessary)
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- salt
- French bread loaf cut into 1 inch slices
- 1 tomato, sliced
PREPARTION:
1. In a food processor, add the cheese, beer, garlic, mustard and cayenne and blend until smooth. Season the mixture with salt to taste.
2. Preheat broiler. Arrange the French bread slices on a baking sheet and spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture on top of each slice. Broil 6 inches away from heat element for about 2 minutes or until the bread is toasty and the cheese is bubbly and browned on the edges. Top with tomato sliced and serve.
Serves 6 – 8

Looks like an awesome recipe. Definitely is now on my must-try list.
Reminds me of a Fondue-on-a-plate thing.
Thanks to @ChileRockin for pointing me to your blog via Twitter.
Beer Cheese soup is popular in MN and WI so these would go over extremely well!
