Starters & Snacks: „Welsh Rabbit“

Ingredients: Serves 4 4 thick slices of bread, crusts removed 25g butter 225g grated mature Cheddar cheese 5ml mustard powder few drops Worcestershire sauce 60ml brown ale, beer or milk

Steps 1 – 3 of 5 1.Preheat the grill (broiler). Toast the bread until golden, then place in a single layer in a wide, shallow baking dish. Keep warm. 2.Melt the butter in a small to medium, heavy- based, preferably non- stick saucepan over a very low heat, or in a bowl placed over a saucepan of hot water. 3.Stir the grated Cheddar cheese, English mustard powder an Worcestershire sauce into the melted butter, then slowly pour in the ale, beer or milk in a steady stream, stirring the cheese mixture all the time until very well blended. Cook`s tip: Use a strong flavoured cheese so the topping has plenty of flavour.

Steps 4 and 5 4.Spoon the cheese mixture onto the toast then place under the hot grill (broiler) until bubbling and golden. Serve immediately. 5.This delicious supper dish is made from toast and a flavourful cheese sauce. It doesn`t, as the name might suggest, contain any meat. It is sometimes called “Welsh rarebit”, although “rabbit” seems to have been the original name. To turn Welsh Rabbit into Buck Rabbit, top each portion with a poached egg.
