Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2/3 cup dark beer, such as Abita Turbodog
4 ounces sharp English cheddar cheese, grated
4 ounces Caerphilly cheese*, grated (See Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry English mustard
1 pint raw oysters
12 (1/2-inch thick) slices French bread, toasted
6 slices crispy-cooked bacon, crumbled
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the beer. When the bubbles have begun to subside, add the cheeses, 1 handful at a time, stirring constantly and in 1 direction only, until smooth and creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of the Essence, the Worcestershire sauce, and the dry mustard and stir to combine. Keep warm while you prepare the oysters.
  • In a small skillet or saucepan, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat and add the oysters. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until the oysters are just cooked and have begun to curl around the edges, stirring occasionally. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of Essence.
  • To serve, divide the French bread toast between 6 plates, and divide the cooked oysters among the toasts. Top with the cheese mixture, and garnish with the crispy bacon.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

This was a disaster! The cheese sauce curdled and the whole thing was a mess. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. It was a lot of work and the end result wasn't worth it.

This was okay, but I've had better Welsh rabbit. I think the cheese sauce was a little too thick.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

This was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a less sharp cheese.

I love this recipe! It's so simple, yet so delicious. I've made it several times and it's always a hit. I usually add a little bit of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.

This is one of my favorite recipes! I make it all the time. It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with a side of crusty bread.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this dish, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's very rich and flavorful. I could see this being a great dish to serve at a party.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-shredded cheese and it was still delicious. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a complete meal.

I'm not a huge fan of cheese, but I really enjoyed this dish. The beer and mustard give it a nice savory flavor. I could definitely see myself making this again.

This was my first time making Welsh rabbit and it was so easy! I was worried it would be complicated, but it came together in no time. The hardest part was waiting for it to cool before eating it. :)

I made this last night and it was a big hit! I used a sharp cheddar cheese and it gave the dish a nice tang. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick. It was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.

This Welsh rabbit is incredible! The flavors are rich and complex, and the texture is smooth and creamy. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. I served it over toast points, and it was a hit with my guests. Highly recommend!
