The Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4).
2
In a saucepan, combine the grated cheddar cheese, double cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper.
3
Heat over a low heat, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Do not boil.
4
Stir in the grated Jersey Royal potatoes and flaked smoked haddock. Mix well to combine.
5
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.
6
Spoon the rarebit mixture evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
7
Place the rarebit toasts onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
8
While the rarebit is baking, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat.
9
Carefully crack the duck eggs into the frying pan and fry until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
10
Remove the rarebit toasts from the oven and top each with a fried duck egg.
11
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use a strong mature cheddar cheese.

Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.

If the rarebit sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.

For an extra touch, grill the rarebit toasts briefly after baking to achieve a crispy top.
