- Put the cream cheese and the yolk in a bowl and mix together. This step is pretty straightforward for the kids to do – let them stir together the egg yolk and cream cheese before adding the seasoning.
- Add the grated Cheddar and chopped chives and mix thoroughly.
- Slice the baguette into 3cm slices – cut them at an angle so you get more surface. Preheat a grill and grill the slices for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown depending on the power of your grill.
- Place a slice of the tomato on each slice of toasted baguette, hand a dessert spoon to the little ones and let them spread the rarebit mixture over the lightly toasted baguette slices.
- The rarebits should be cooked under a hot grill until golden brown and bubbling. This will take 2-4 minutes. Serve straight-away.
- Tip: For best results, use the frozen cheese mix within 1 month.
