Method

  1. Put the onions, sugar and vinegar into a large pan on a low heat. Cook for about 25 mins, stirring now and again, until gloopy and sticky. Cool. Mix together the cheeses, crème fraîche, eggs and mustard with some seasoning, then chill.
  2. To serve, heat the grill, lightly toast the bread and cut each slice into chunks. Put onto a baking sheet, spread a tsp of chutney on each chunk, then pile on the rarebit mixture - as much as the little squares can hold. Grill for 3-5 mins until golden brown and bubbling.

    I made these as one of the canopes for my annual Christmas Party and they went down really well although they are a little messy for nibbles and probably better as a starter to a hearty meal as knife and fork are required.

    Made these as canapes and they went down extremely well. I only used 150g parmesan and that was fine. Will chop onions rather than slice next time to make them easier to eat! Made some ciabatta and used that rather than sour dough/German rye.

    I found the topping a bit too wet and most of it had run off of the toast by the time it was cooked. What was left tasted good though.

    Really easy and tasty, fantastic for a nibble before dinner and also very Chrismassy. Also used a mixture of cheeses including cheddar and always the first empty plate. Lovely on a simple mini baguette which is also very easy to cut, cook and store surplus for another time or recipe.
