Welsh rarebit

Tamara West

If you fancy trying your hand at a Welsh rarebit here’s our recipe, adapted from one by Gordon Ramsay. Experiment with different cheeses and use a darker beer for a stronger flavour and more worcestershire sauce. These make a wonderful lunch or supper and do go down well with a beer.

Ingredients

25 g	Butter
1 Tbsp	Flour
75 ml	Beer
1 tsp	Dijon mustard
1 tsp	Worcestershire sauce
100 g	Cheese, we used a mix of cheddar and Lancashire
2 slices	Crusty bread, use large slices (Main)

Directions

1. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly for a few minutes.
2. While stirring pour in the beer a little at a time until well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the mustard and worcestershire sauce.
3. Add ¾ of the cheese and stir until it has melted. Set aside to cool a bit.
4. Toast the bread and spread the cheese mix over each slice. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and place under a hot grill until golden and bubbling.
