Famous all over Europe, Welsh Rarebit is a far-off relative to cheese on toast, made with a cheese and ale sauce, and Welsh Rarebit Day commemorates this well-known dish. No one's fairly certain of the origin of the name, however it's generally thought to be a jest at the cost of the very early poor of Wales, that might mostly have survived on bunny and ale (though just how this relates back to cheese on salute, we're unsure).
It's a savory sauce made from a mixture of cheese and various other ingredients and served hot over toasted bread. It's a far cry from just cheese on toast.
Here's a good recipe for it so you can get an idea of exactly what it is:
Welsh Rarebit :
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon mustard powder, or to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
¾ cup strong dark beer, like Guinness
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
1 pound Cheddar, Double Gloucester or other English cheese (or other good semi-hard cheese, like Comté or Gruyère, or a mixture), grated
4 to 8 pieces lightly toasted bread.
1. Put butter in a saucepan over medium heat and, as it melts, stir in flour. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and very fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and cayenne, then whisk in beer and Worcestershire sauce.
2. When mixture is uniform, turn heat to low and stir in cheese, again stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and pour into a broad container to set (you can refrigerate for up to a day at this point).
3. Spread mixture thickly on toast and put under broiler until bubbly and edges of toast are crisp. Serve immediately.
Hello, would you mind telling me the meaning of the word welsh rabbit?
It's actually Welsh rarebit and is a dish (type of meal).
It is often mistakenly called Welsh rabbit these days.
Just found a recipe, it's quite tasty.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup porter beer
3/4 cup heavy cream
6 ounces (approximately 1 1/2 cups) shredded Cheddar
2 drops hot sauce
4 slices toasted rye bread
Directions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to brown the flour. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add beer and whisk to combine. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth. Gradually add cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4 to 5 minutes. Add hot sauce. Pour over toast and serve immediately.
