Welsh Rarebit
Winter 2007
Rarebits or rabbits are British cheese dishes similar to our melted cheese sandwiches. In Britain, they are often served as a small savoury at the end of a meal or as a lunch or supper dish with a salad.
Serves 6
2 tbsp (25 mL) butter
12 oz (375 g) grated old cheddar cheese
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
Pinch cayenne
¼ cup (50 mL) Hobgoblin ale or other beer
1 tsp (5 mL) Worcestershire sauce
6 slices thick toast
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped parsley
1. Combine butter, cheese, lemon juice, mustard and cayenne in a pot. Stir in beer and Worcestershire sauce. Heat gently, stirring until cheese is melted and mixture is combined, about 7 minutes.
2. Spoon mixture over toast making sure cheese mixture covers edges to keep them from burning under the broiler. Place under broiler and broil for 1 minute or until cheese is golden and bubbly. Sprinkle with parsley.
