A traditional British recipe, this perfect Welsh rarebit is the ultimate quick and easy lunch - made with a gooey cheese sauce, and grilled to perfection on crispy bread.

Perfect Welsh Rarebit

Tbsp (~ 15 grams) butter

Tbsp plain flour

120 ml (~ 1/2 cup) milk ((or

75 g mature cheddar cheese, (grated (~ 3/4 cup when grated))

tsp mustard (I used Dijon)

tsp black pepper

Begin by laying the slices of bread on a baking tray, and placing them under the grill (broiler), set to a medium-high heat. Cook for a couple of minutes until one side of the bread is golden brown and crispy. Then, turn each slice over and remove from the grill.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan, and add the flour. Mix well for 30 seconds, then add half of the milk. Stir well until the sauce is smooth, then add the remaining milk and mix again. The mixture should thicken up into a smooth, thick paste.

Add the grated cheese, mustard, and black pepper. Cook for another minute or two, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Spoon the sauce onto the untoasted side of each piece of bread, gently pushing it to the edges with the back of the spoon (don&#39;t worry if it spills over the edges a bit!).

Place back under the grill (broiler) for about 5 more minutes, until the cheese sauce is just beginning to brown. Serve immediately.

cook for a few seconds until the flour absorbs the oil and no longer smells &#x27;floury&#x27;

Slowly add the liquids (plant milk/beer/wine) whisking all the while to avoid lumps

Thicken

Once the liquid is incorporated the mixture should become quite thick.

Indulge in a slice of bubbling, golden-brown, cheesy Welsh rarebit for a satisfying lunch. Serve piping hot from the grill with plenty of chopped chives

brown ale

plain flour

mature cheddar

mustard powder

chives

sourdough bread

In a small saucepan gently warm the ale, set aside. Take another small saucepan and over a medium heat melt the butter until it begins to foam, tip in the flour and stir everything together, cooking for 1 min. Whisk in the warm ale in several additions to create a thick sauce then whisk through the cheese to create a thick paste. Stir the mustard, Worcestershire and chives through the sauce.

Heat a grill to its highest setting. Place the slices of bread on a flat baking sheet and grill on one side until golden brown. Flip the bread over and spread each one with the cheese mixture. Place back under the grill and cook for a further 1-2 mins or until golden brown and bubbling, serve immediately.

Give classic Welsh rarebit a tangy twist with lime pickle in this easy lunch. If you don’t have any, this could work well with spicy mango chutney instead

Lime pickle rarebit

mature cheddar, grated

tbsp lime pickle, finely chopped

bread (we used sourdough)

green salad, to serve

Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Once foaming, tip in the flour and mustard powder and stir until a paste forms. Continue to cook for 2-3 mins until the paste turns darker. Splash in the Worcestershire sauce and a little of the beer. Stir and continue adding the beer slowly, stirring well after each addition, keeping the heat low to make sure the mix doesn’t boil.

Heat the grill to high. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir through the cheese and lime pickle, continuing to stir until the cheese has melted. (You may need to return the pan to a low heat to completely melt the cheese.) Season with a pinch of pepper and set aside. Arrange the sliced bread on a baking tray and lightly toast both sides under the grill, 1-2 mins each side. Spread the cheese sauce over the top and grill for a further 3-4 mins until bubbling and browned. Leave to stand for 2 mins before serving with a green salad in a lemony dressing, if you like.
