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.

WELSH RAREBIT



Welsh Rarebit image

Anyone can lay a few slices of cheese on toast and melt them, but creating a thick sauce of cheese, beer and spices and then spreading it on toast creates one of the best late-night snacks I know. This is Welsh rarebit, or rabbit, a traditional British dish whose name has a long and complicated history, one we will not go into here.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon mustard powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
3/4 cup strong dark beer, like Guinness
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
1 pound Cheddar, Double Gloucester or other English cheese (or other good semi-hard cheese, like Comté or Gruyère, or a mixture), grated
4 to 8 pieces lightly toasted bread

Steps:

  • Put butter in a saucepan over medium heat and, as it melts, stir in flour. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and very fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and cayenne, then whisk in beer and Worcestershire sauce.
  • When mixture is uniform, turn heat to low and stir in cheese, again stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and pour into a broad container to set (you can refrigerate for up to a day at this point).
  • Spread mixture thickly on toast and put under broiler until bubbly and edges of toast are crisp. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. Sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use a milder cheddar or a combination of cheddars.
  • If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or tamari.
  • If you don't have dry mustard, you can use prepared mustard. Just be sure to use a small amount, as it can be quite strong.
  • You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve Welsh rarebit over toast, crackers, or vegetables.
