Welsh Rarebit

🔥 Prep

• Grate the 100g cheddar cheese.
• Measure 1 tsp mustard.
• Measure 2 tbsp ale.
• Measure 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce.
• Take the 2 slices of bread and set aside.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Preheat the oven broiler to high and place the bread slices on a baking sheet; toast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden, then set aside.
• 2. In a small saucepan, combine the grated cheddar, mustard, ale, and Worcestershire sauce over medium heat.
• 3. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
• 4. Pour the hot cheese sauce evenly over the toasted bread slices.
• 5. Return the sauced toast to the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the top bubbles and lightly browns.
• 6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 1 minute before serving.

🔥 Serve

• Serve the Welsh rarebit hot, directly from the baking sheet.
• Pair with a side of pickled gherkins or a simple green salad.
• Optional: sprinkle a pinch of paprika or freshly ground black pepper for extra flavor.
