REAL WELSH RAREBIT



Real Welsh Rarebit image

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.

CHEESY WELSH RAREBIT

This was my father's recipe. With his coastal southern accent, it always sounded like he was saying "Welsh Rabbit." Only when I was older did I discover there was nothing rabbit about this rare bit!

WELSH RAREBIT (RABBIT)



Welsh Rarebit (Rabbit) image

I like the cheese/beer combo. Just seems to work and play so well together. And when its for breakfast... well, all the better!

Provided by Geoffry Le Cher

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp ap flour
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c dry, stout beer (guinness)
3/4 c heavy cream
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp hot sauce
4 thick sliced, toasted, sourdough bread

Steps:

  • 1. MAKE THE ROUX
  • 2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour.
  • 3. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to brown the flour.
  • 4. MAKE THE SAUCE
  • 5. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add beer and whisk to combine. (There will be some foaming.)
  • 6. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth.
  • 7. Gradually add cheese in batches, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4 to 5 minutes. Take your time and make sure there are no lumps, then add hot sauce.
  • 8. Pour over toast and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar will give the rarebit a more intense flavor.
  • Grate the cheese finely. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
  • Use fresh mustard. Fresh mustard will give the rarebit a brighter, more pungent flavor than store-bought mustard.
  • Don't overcook the rarebit. It should be cooked until it is melted and bubbly, but not until it starts to separate.
  • Serve the rarebit immediately. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and gooey.

Conclusion:

Welsh rarebit is a classic British dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese and bread, and it can be served as a main course or a snack. With its rich, cheesy flavor and crispy bread, Welsh rarebit is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
