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.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 thin slices crusty bread
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup beer
1/3 cup whole milk
1 heaping teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
1 large egg yolk

Steps:

  • Chopped fresh chives, for sprinkling
  • Put a skillet over low heat and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Toast the bread in the skillet until the underside is golden brown, a couple of minutes. Turn the bread over, toast the other side, then remove from the skillet and keep warm.
  • To make the sauce, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over low heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk together until combined. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the taste of the flour is cooked out, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the beer and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and cook for an additional minute to thicken. Add the mustard, paprika, cayenne and Worcestershire sauce, then whisk some more. Add the cheese, whisking slowly, and cook until smooth, melted and very hot, a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg yolk.
  • Lay a piece of toast on each plate, spoon the hot sauce over the toast and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Steps:

  • Put the cheese, butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, flour and pepper into a saucepan.
  • Mix well and then add the beer, Guiness or milk to moisten. Do not make it too wet!!
  • Stir over a gentle heat until all is melted, and when it is a thickish paste, stop stirring, and swivel it around the saucepan, which it will do quite easily.
  • Leave to cool a little, and meanwhile toast the bread on one side only.
  • Spread the rarebit over the untoasted side and brown under a hot grill.
  • This mixture can be made and kept in the refrigerator for several days if required. Sweet white wine can be used instead of beer and gives a good flavour.
