- Total time
- Easy
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 100g baby spinach
- 125g mature cheddar, grated
- ½ tsp English mustard
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1, plus 2 eggs egg yolk, for poaching
- 4 small pieces sourdough
- dressed with rocket, lemon juice to serve
Method
- STEP 1Put the spinach in a colander then pour over a kettle of just-boiled water to wilt. Cool, then squeeze out as much water as possible and chop (get it as dry as you can otherwise the rarebit will be soggy).

- STEP 3Poach the remaining 2 eggs in a small pan of simmering water.
- STEP 4Heat the grill to high. Toast the bread on both sides then divide the rarebit mixture between the slices, spreading to cover.
- STEP 5Grill until golden and bubbling, then top with an egg, lots of black pepper and serve with a little dressed rocket.
