Just five days into the New Year and we already have our first viral TikTok recipe.

Don’t worry, we’re not freezing honey. That was so 2022. Instead, we’re making Viking Toast, a healthy Welsh rarebit from the Pinch of Nom cookbook by food bloggers Kate Allinson and Kay Featherstone.

The recipe combines cheese and caramelised onion on toast, with Worcestershire sauce and mustard for seasoning. If made to the exact recipe specifications, it contains only 300 calories per serve.

The best thing about Viking Toast is that you probably have all the ingredients in your cupboard already. It’s an easy recipe to throw together and perfect for when you’re short on time or money (hello 2023).

Here’s the original recipe from Pinch of Nom. We substituted powdered mustard for regular mustard. We also substituted low-fat dairy for full-fat dairy, which kind of defeats the purpose but it tasted great.

INGREDIENTS

– low-calorie cooking spray
– ½ an onion
– 40g reduced-fat mature Cheddar cheese
– ½ tsp of Worcestershire sauce
– Small pinch of mustard powder
– 1 medium egg yolk
– 1 tsp skim milk
– Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
– 1 medium slice of wholemeal bread

METHOD

1. Finely chop the onion
2. Spray pan with oil and put on medium heat
3. Grate the Cheddar
4. Add onions to pan and cook for 2-3 minutes
5. Combine the cooked onion and cheese into a bowl
6. Add half a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of mustard powder
7. Add the egg yolk and milk to the bowl
8. Add the pepper and sea salt
9. Combine well
10. Add the mix to the slice of bread and grill for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden
11. Serve immediately

If you’re not counting calories, then we definitely recommend you make our smoked paprika bechamel cheese dip with garlic toasts instead.
