This recipe appeared in the SOS column of the LA Times. The original recipe is from The Whip Tavern in Coatesille, PA. This is a rich, cheesy dish that is browned under the broiler and served with crostini for dipping. The ale they recommend is Smithwick's Irish Ale, but any will do.

WELSH RAREBIT (CHEDDAR BEER TOAST)



Welsh Rarebit (Cheddar Beer Toast) image

This take on Welsh Rarebit is a great last-minute party snack or part of a simple dinner. The cheese topping is like a fondue--just switch out the Gruyere cheese for Cheddar and white wine for beer. It takes about 10 minutes to put together and you can keep it warm in the oven if you don't want to dig in right away.

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
8 ounces shredded Cheddar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Large pinch of cayenne pepper (or up to 1/4 teaspoon, for more heat)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup pale ale
1/2 baguette, cut into 1-inch-thick slices on the diagonal
Snipped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Add the Cheddar, dry mustard, paprika and cayenne and a pinch each of salt and black pepper and whisk to combine. As the cheese melts, gradually add the pale ale, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, whisking until smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Spoon on the cheese sauce and coat each slice in the middle. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and browned, about 2 minutes (watch closely, as broilers vary). Top with chives and enjoy!
