Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 20g butter
  • 20g plain flour
  • 200ml milk
  • 200g mature cheddar, grated
  • 1 tsp Marmite, plus extra for spreading
  • 6 pack Taste the Difference crumpets
  • 100g block mozzarella, 6 slices and the rest grated

Instruction

  • Heat the butter in a pan over a medium heat until melted, then add the flour and stir to make a paste. Add the milk, a splash at a time, continually stirring until all incorporated. Simmer gently until you get a thick white sauce. Add the grated cheddar, 1 teaspoon of Marmite, a little salt and plenty of pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted, then remove from the heat. Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7.
  • Toast the crumpets, then spread with more Marmite, depending on how much you like/love it.
  • Put half of the cheese sauce into the bottom of a loaf tin (approx. 18cm x 8cm base) lined with a strip of baking paper, then stack in the crumpets on their sides with a spoon of cheese sauce and a slice of mozzarella. They should fit snugly into the tin.
  • Pour over the remaining few tablespoons of cheese sauce, then sprinkle with the grated mozzarella. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbling, golden and crisp. Spoon onto plates with lots of cheese sauce.
