California Rarebit Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then whisk in the flour. Whisk in the Dijon and season with some salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, whisking continually.
• Whisk in the Worcestershire, then the cream and beer; whisk out any lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook out the alcohol, about 1 minute. Stir in the Cheddar and let melt. Keep stirring over medium-high heat until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve over the pumpernickel toast.

Steps:

• In a large sauce pot, bring the beer and milk to a simmer (180 degrees F).
• While you are bringing the milk and beer to a simmer, in a separate sauce pot, melt the butter and bacon fat. Once melted, add the onions and sweat until translucent. Add the flour to make the roux, making sure you stir continually so it gets nice and toasty, but doesn't burn to the bottom of the pot. De-glaze the pan with the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar and thyme. By this time, the milk and beer should be ready to add to the roux. Add slowly, continually stirring to break up chunks and emulsify the mixture. Bring the mixture up to 185 degrees F and remove from the heat. Add the Irish Cheddar, blue cheese and salt and blend with an immersion blender (if you don't have an immersion blender, add the cheese while the mixture is still hot and whisk vigorously with a whisk to fully incorporate).

Steps:

• 1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the top of a double boiler.
• 2. Add the wine and heat, then stir in 2 cups of the cheese.

• 5. Cook and stir about 1 minute.
• 6. Add the worcestershire sauce and basil, set aside keeping the sauce warm.
• 7. Saute the mushrooms in the remaining butter until just tender then sprinkle with the garlic powder and remove from the heat.
• 8. Arrange toast points or triangles on individual heatproof plates.
• 9. Spoon the sauce over the toast then top with the sauteed mushrooms.
• 10. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and broil until bubbly.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in the saucepan and add the mustard, salt and pepper, ale or beer and bring to a simmer. Add the cheese and the minute it has melted remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour over the toast and serve as is or place under the broiler to brown. Serve immediately with a glass of red wine or beer.

Steps:

Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add beer and whisk to combine. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth.
