Method

Put the butter in a small saucepan over a medium-low heat. Stir in the blended oats and cook for around 1 minute, stirring continuously to form a paste.
Gradually whisk in the beer and milk until smooth. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and add the grated Cheddar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cheese has melted and you have a thick, smooth sauce. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Add the Mornflake Superfast Oats to a blender and blitz until you have a fine, flour-like consistency.
Med black pepper and a little salt, if needed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave to cool for 1–2 minutes. Stir in the egg yolk until fully incorporated.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the crumpets until golden. This will help prevent them from becoming soggy once the rarebit mixture is added.
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Place the toasted crumpets on a lined baking tray and generously spoon the rarebit mixture over each one, spreading it right to the edges.
Place under the grill for 2–4 minutes, or until the rarebit is bubbling and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the grill, sprinkle with finely chopped chives if using, and serve immediately.
