Penny’s Welsh Rarebit for a Queen!! | The Recipe Hunters in Wales

Penny from the Culinary Cottage teaches us how to make her Welsh Rarebit Recipe. Welsh Rarebit, formerly spelled rabbit, has nothing to do with the furry animal. The rarebit is a classic Welsh finger food consisting of a cheese infused roux sauce (flour and butter sauce) on toast. In addition to cheese Penny’s version infuses the roux with a real ale, mustard, and cayenne pepper. In simpler terms, the Rarebit is a gourmet version of melted cheese on toast. This favorite dish of many Welsh will have you questioning your grilled cheese sandwiches. Penny’s advice is to make sure your smear the topping on every last inch of your toast almost to encourage a spill over. And of course to eat the rarebit with your hands!
