An easy and very tasty rarebit dish made with Irish cheddar cheese and the ubiquitous Irish ale, Guinness. The Emerald Isle produces some great dairy products and none is better than their butter and Cheddar style cheese. This recipe has Ireland written right the way through it, using soda bread as the base for this cheesy snack, as well as the aforementioned cheese and ale. I have also made these to eat with a bowl of hearty soup or Irish stew, perfect for a cold or damp winter's day. Amazing high tea time food as well; served with salad, chutneys and pickles for a cheap and easy fire-side supper.

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon English mustard
1 teaspoon honey

2 finely chopped spring onions (green onions)
1 cup irish cheddar cheese, grated (or similar Cheddar cheese)

Steps:

### Tips
  • Use a good quality Irish cheddar cheese for the best flavor. A sharp cheddar will give you a more intense flavor, while a milder cheddar will be more mellow.
  • Use fresh Guinness beer. The fresher the beer, the better the flavor of the rarebit will be.
  • Don't overcook the rarebit. It should be cooked until it is just melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the rarebit immediately with toasted bread or crackers.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the rarebit, such as cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, or chopped green onions.
### Conclusion Irish Guinness rarebit is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover Guinness beer. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
