Welsh rarebit
Welsh rarebit
Welsh rarebit (pronunciation: /ˈwɛlʃ ˈræbɪt/) is a traditional British dish made with a savoury sauce of melted cheese and various other ingredients, served hot over toast.
Etymology
The term "Welsh rarebit" is a corruption of the term "Welsh rabbit", first recorded in 1725. The origin of the term is unclear, but it may be an ironic name coined in the days when the Welsh were notoriously poor, and cheese on toast might have been a typical dish.
Ingredients
The primary ingredient of Welsh rarebit is cheese, usually a hard variety such as Cheddar or processed cheese. The cheese is mixed with butter, beer or milk, and sometimes mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper or paprika. The mixture is then spread on slices of toast and grilled until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Variations
There are several variations of Welsh rarebit, including Buck rarebit (also known as Welsh rabbit with a poached egg), Blushing bunny (made with tomato or tomato soup), and Yorkshire rarebit (made with Yorkshire beer).
