Cheesy Welsh Rarebit image

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.

Time 12m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices dense, hearty brown bread
1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
5 tablespoons dark ale (NOT beer)
2 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat a broiler.
  • Place the bread slices on a baking sheet.
  • Place under the broiler and toast, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 30-40 seconds on each side.
  • Remove from the broiler.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cheddar and the dark ale.
  • When the cheese melts, add the butter, Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and the cayenne, and whisk together until smoothly melted and combined, 1-2 minutes.
  • Cut each piece of toast in half, diagonally, and arrange around the edges on a flameproof platter.
  • Pour the cheese mixture over the toasts so they are covered completely.
  • Place the platter under the broiler and broil until the cheese bubbles and starts to scorch in places, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the broiler and serve piping hot.

I'm not a big fan of cheese, but I really enjoyed this dish. The mustard and Worcestershire sauce gave it a nice savory flavor.
