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
4 thick slices of bread, crusts removed
25 g (1 oz) 2 tbsp butter
225 g (8 oz) 2 cups grated mature Cheddar cheese
5 ml (1 tsp) English mustard powder
few drops Worcestershire sauce
60 ml (4 tbsp) brown ale, beer or milk
25 g (1 oz) 2 tbsp butter
225 g (8 oz) 2 cups grated mature Cheddar cheese
5 ml (1 tsp) English mustard powder
few drops Worcestershire sauce
60 ml (4 tbsp) brown ale, beer or milk
method
1. Preheat the grill. Toast the bread until golden, then place in a single layer in a wide, shallow baking dish.
Keep warm.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
