Ingredients
- l/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, in small dice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- l/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- Cayenne pepper to taste
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup beer (or milk)
- 4 slices toast
- Crisply cooked bacon and sliced tomatoes as accompaniments
Preparation
Step 1
Combine the cheese, butter, mustard, and cayenne pepper in a heavy bottomed pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted.
Beat a little of the hot cheese mixture into the egg, and then return the egg-cheese mixture to the pan. Add salt to taste. Add the beer (or the milk) and cook one to two minutes more, until very hot but not boiling. Spoon over toast and serve with bacon and tomatoes and decorate with a sprig of parsley.
You may wish to broil the rarebits to brown the tops.
