TRADITIONAL WELSH RAREBIT

Brings back childhood memories of staying home with Mum and making these delicious cheese on toasts. The cheese sauce is also wonderful for topping fish or roasted veggies. Do use a heavy British or European beer.

REAL WELSH RAREBIT

A classic version of this dish was shared with me years ago. This is is my adaptation to more local ingredients. If you don't like beer, you can replace it with milk and it will still taste great. Serve over toasted bread or English muffins.

Steps:

  • Toast each muffin half lightly. Heat your broiler. Grate the cheese; it doesn't have to be finely grated, but it makes a difference if it's not freshly grated - don't use the pre-shredded cheese.
  • Melt the butter in a small non-stick saucepan, and add the flour to make a roux. Off the heat, whisk in the English mustard, and the milk and cider. Put the pan back on the heat and keep whisking or stirring until you have a thick white sauce (slightly yellow from the mustard). This is a paste more than a sauce and there will not be much of it.
  • Add the grated cheese, stirring until it melts and then take it off the heat and divide the sauce between the four lightly toasted muffin halves, spreading each one to cover. Immediately place under the heated broiler until they blister on top and begin to brown in spots. Watch them carefully!

2 whole wheat English muffins (to make 4 pieces, when split in half)
5 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon English mustard
1 tablespoon milk
3 tablespoons cider

THE WHIP TAVERNS WELSH RAREBIT

Steps:

  • Heat the grill. Lightly grill the bacon, if used. Slice the tomatoes, if used. Slice the cheese, making enough slices to cover the pieces of bread. Toast the bread lightly on both sides and spread one side with the butter. Arrange the slices of cheese on the buttered side of the toast and put under the grill for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese begins to bubble. Top with the tomato slices, bacon, or pickle and return to the grill for another minute, to heat the topping and brown the cheese. Eat at once.

CHEESY WELSH RAREBIT

An inexpensive but savoury dish. It may have originally been a French dish, as there are old French culinary references to "lapin gallois". When I was a child, our family had this as a bedtime snack a couple of times a week. Never tired of it.
