Welsh Rarebit with Mrs. McGarrigle’s Creamy Herb Dijon Mustard

By Grammie926

Rarebits or rabbits are British cheese dishes similar to our melted cheese sandwiches. In Britain they are often served as a small savoury at the end of a meal or as a lunch or supper dish with a salad.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp (25ml) butter
• 12 oz (375g) grated old cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
• 1 tsp (5ml) Mrs. McGarrigle’s Creamy Herb Dijon Mustard
• Pinch cayenne
• 1/4 cup (50ml) Hobgoblin ale or other beer
• 1 tsp (5ml) Worchestershire sauce
• 6 slices thick toast
• 2 tbsp (25ml) chopped parsley
• Sea salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Combine butter, cheese, lemon juice, mustard and cayenne in a pot. Stir in beer and Worchestershire sauce. Heat gently, stirring until cheese is melted and mixture is combined, about 7 minutes. Spoon mixture over toast making sure cheese mixture covers edges to keep them from burning under the broiler. Place under broiler and broil for 1 minute or until cheese is golden and bubbly. Sprinkle with parsley.
