Grate the cheese and onion then mix with beer and mustard.

Note: I've received quite a few comments about this dish, from those who are quite sure that I've got the name wrong, that it should be called ' Rabbit '.
In fact it can be either, it is all a matter of personal choice, I have now added ' (Rabbit) ' for those who prefer that name. Though, whatever you choose to call it - it's still cheese on toast!
If you want to read more about the name, look at BBC Food - Glossary or
The Independent On-line.
