4 thick slices of bread, crusts removed
2 tbsp butter
2 cups grated mature Cheddar cheese
1 tsp English mustard powder
few drops Worcestershire sauce
4 tbsp brown ale, beer or milk |
Method :
Preheat the grill. Toast the bread until
golden, then place in a single layer in a wide, shallow baking dish.
Keep warm. Slowly melt
the butter in a small to medium, heavy-based, preferably non-stick
saucepan over a very low heat, or in a bowl placed over a saucepan of
hot water. Stir it constantly as it melts, then remove from the heat.
Stir the
cheese, mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce into the melted butter,
then slowly pour in the ale, beer or milk in a steady stream, stirring
the cheese mixture all the time until very well blended. Preheat the
grill. Spoon the Cheddar cheese mixture on to the toast in the baking
dish, then place it under the hot grill until it is bubbling hot and
golden brown in colour. Serve immediately.
Serves 4
This delicious supper dish is made from
toast and a flavourful cheese sauce spiked with hot mustard and
Worcestershire sauce. It doesn't, as the name might suggest, contain any
meat. It is also called "Welsh Rarebit", although "rabbit" seems to have
been the original name. Use a strong-tasting cheese so the topping
has plenty of flavor.
