WELSH RABBIT
I believe this recipe is the same as Welsh Rarebit, the classic British topping for rye or white bread toast. Melted sharp Cheddar cheese is complimented by Worcestershire sauce and a hint of cayenne pepper.

WELSH RABBIT (RAREBIT)
The secret is the quality of the cheese, Cheddar or Cheshire or as you prefer. In Wales, the idea was that when a hunter came home with no rabbit, this is what he had to eat. Some experts insist it be made with stale ale. However it is common for the ale to substituted with cream or milk. Commonly served with tomato on the toast, above or below. Many people broil, although the original was not broiled. Other variations include: Serving over sliced chicken or turkey on buttered toast and topped bacon and broiled until the bacon crisps. Over cooked broccoli, cauliflour or asparagus or even ham on toast. Over sliced hard boiled or poached egg on toast. Bits of cooked lobster, shrimp, crab or tuna on rice or toast.

Tips
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. A sharp or extra sharp cheddar will give you a more pronounced taste.
- If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, you can use a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce instead.
- To make the rarebit even creamier, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or milk.
- For a vegetarian version of the Welsh rabbit, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Serve the Welsh rabbit or rarebit immediately after it's made, while it's still hot and bubbly.
