Method

  1. 1

  3. 3

    Spread the butter evenly over the hot toast.

  4. 4

    Place the buttered toast on a heat-proof plate or baking sheet, pour the hot beans over the toast, and top generously with the grated mature cheddar.

    Place the plate under a preheated grill for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
