How to make Welsh 'Rabbits'
- Pre-heat the grill to high.
- Put the cheese, egg, cream/milk and Worcestershire sauce into a bowl and mash together.
- Season to taste with pepper.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the cut sides of the toasted muffins, spreading right to the edges.
- Grill for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is golden and bubbling.
- Split the muffin and cook the two pieces under the grill around 7-8cm (about 3 ins) away from the heat source (one rack down from normal grilling position) don't have them too close to as the egg in the mixture can make them brown very quickly.
- Decorate the cooked muffins with peas for eyes and strips of carrot, mange tout for ears, half an olive for a nose and chives for whiskers. Serve immediately.
