Welsh rarebit recipe
- Cuisine: Modern Australian
- Serves 4
This may just be cheese on toast, but what cheese on toast it is! Original recipes use powdered mustard, but I like the elegance of Dijon; also try hot English mustard for some bite. This is a great way to use up yesterday’s bread. If your cheddar is cheap and rubbery, and you have some good Italian parmesan in the fridge, substitute 50g of the parmesan for 50g of the cheddar. When topped with a poached egg, this is called Welsh Buck.
Ingredients
200g good-quality cheddar, grated2 tbsp pale beer
2–3 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp butter
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 fat slabs of bread
Preparation
Preheat grill to high. Combine cheese, beer, mustard, butter, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce in a pan. Place over low heat and stir until cheese has melted and the mixture is a thick paste; it may not be very smooth, but that’s fine. Cool slightly until needed.Place bread under grill and toast it on one side. Spread the untoasted side with the cheese paste and return to the grill and cook until browned on top.
Serve immediately with the remaining beer.

Hot Tips
A good cuppa
When making a pot of tea, always warm the teapot first, by adding hot water to the teapot. When the pot is warm, discard the water and add the tea leaves. The general rule is one teaspoon of tea for each guest and one for the pot.
Glossary
