Welsh Rarebit Recipe

Welsh rarebit (or rabbit) is simply savory melted cheese on toast. This makes a very pleasant mid-afternoon snack with a cup of soup. Or serve with sliced honey dew melon, grapes or other fruit. Also good with scrambled eggs, or just a cup of hot coffee or tea.

Ingredients

6 ozs. grated cheddar cheese
2 pats butter
1 tspn Coleman's mustard
1 tblspn milk
1/4 cup beer Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tspn Worcestershire sauce
2 slices of very lightly toasted bread*

Directions

Place all ingredients (except bread) in saucepan melt over low heat. When fully melted, pour mixture over toast and place toast on foil under broiler*. Remove when cheese starts to bubble and brown. This is rich enough to serve 2.

Hint

*To keep cheese mixture from sticking to pan spray lightly with cooking oil. It makes clean-up easier.
*I like to lightly toast the bread--it keeps it from becoming too 'cheesy'.
*spray foil with a bit of vegetable spray, toast will slide off foil onto your serving dish.
*Welsh rarebit sauce is nice over steamed broccoli, brussel sprouts or cauliflower.
