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 RABBIT (RAREBIT) - SORT OF TOASTED CHEESE
Nothing is more delicious that a well-made Welsh Rabbit, or 'rarebit'. It is easy to make but you do need to keep your eye on it! Have the toast made, and keep it warm, before you start cooking the cheese - which is best coarsely grated because it melts easily. From 'The Country Kitchen - Cheese And Biscuits' - Jean Hatfield.

WELSH RAREBIT
Anyone can lay a few slices of cheese on toast and melt them, but creating a thick sauce of cheese, beer and spices and then spreading it on toast creates one of the best late-night snacks I know. This is Welsh rarebit, or rabbit, a traditional British dish whose name has a long and complicated history, one we will not go into here.

Steps:
- 1. Mix the mustard powder with a little stout in the bottom of a small pan to make a paste, then stir in the rest of the stout and add the butter and about 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce - you can always add more later if you like. Heat gently until the butter has melted. 2. Tip in the cheese and stir to melt, but do not let the mixture boil. Once smooth, taste for seasoning, then take off the heat and allow to cool until just slightly warm, being careful it doesn't solidify. 3. Pre-heat the grill to medium-high, and toast the bread on both sides. Beat the yolks into the warm cheese until smooth, and then spoon on to the toast and cook until bubbling and golden. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the main ingredient in Welsh rarebit, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy the taste of. A sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use other cheeses, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or even a blend of cheeses.
- Use a good quality beer: The beer is another important ingredient in Welsh rarebit, and it adds a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a beer that you enjoy drinking, and make sure it's not too bitter.
- Don't overcook the cheese sauce: The cheese sauce should be cooked until it's melted and smooth, but don't overcook it, or it will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve Welsh rarebit immediately: Welsh rarebit is best served immediately after it's made. The cheese sauce will start to thicken as it cools, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
Welsh rarebit is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a snack or a meal. It's perfect for a cold winter day, and it's also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious Welsh rarebit that the whole family will enjoy.
