Makes about 16 sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 16 ounces sharp yellow cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 6 ounces Pilsner beer
• 2 large baguettes or 4 small baguettes
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Preparation:

• Pulse the cheddar cheese in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment until crumbly. Add the Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, and beer, and pulse until the mixture is combined and spreadable.
• Cut both baguettes into slices about ½-inch thick. Make sandwiches: Spread about 1½ tablespoons beer cheese onto a slice of bread, top with another slice, and then spread about ½ teaspoon butter on both sides of each sandwich.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add as many sandwiches as you can fit in the pan, and cook until the underside is golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes more.
