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 WITH RABBIT
Truly, I add rabbit or chicken meat to my rarebit, to serve as a hearty (and savory) main dish, thus making my rarebit a TRUE rabbit!!! Plus my kids don't have to grow up being confused about the name: rarebit or rabbit.

WELSH RAREBIT BREAD
Makes 1 1/2lb loaf. Found this in my recipe book: Better Homes and Gardens Best Bread Machine Recipes. Looked for something savory to make this morning and its sooo good! I only had medium cheddar and can't wait to use sharp cheddar!! Went great for soaking up garlic butter pasta juices and doesn't even need mayo or cheese for a great ham sandwich!

My version of the old classic, using American cheese, mustard and soy sauce. Takes a bit of time, but worth the effort! Serve it on toast. Garnish with crumbled bacon and chopped tomato.
