FauxPseudo Welsh rarebit
RebekahWSDI remember being enamored with the concept of this as a child, but never getting to have any. Maybe I’ll have to make some!
It’s stupid simple to make. Biggest issue is finding a crusty bread.
WoolyNelsonComfort food from my Gran. Always a staple in the cold months.
humble_boatsmanHow is the beer used in this dish??
Rarely
The cheese is melted into a sauce with the beer and then poured over the bread. There’s usually some other flavouring too like mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
I had both spicy brown mustard and Worcestershire in there. Along with some Tabasco.
Ooh, a dash of tobacco does sound good. Gonna have to try that tomorrow
Please no. Tabasco or some other hit sauce. But never the devil’s leather weed.
Stupid autocorrect 😒
Although not how I’d do it, thinking about it now, a little smokiness in there would be good
Two drops of liquid smoke.
The last time I made this I used some smoked cheddar that I had made.
It’s the liquid you melt the butter and mix the mustard and Worcestershire into before adding the cheese. It’s a tiny amount of beer. Just enough to get the cheese liquid.
Legit my lunch tomorrow. Looks good
TrackinDaKrakenWelsh rarebit, a classic dish of cheese sauce on toast, with beer, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
All this cooked into a sauce, and ladled over toast, then broiled in the oven for a bit:
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste
2 drops Tabasco, or more to taste
1 cup whole milk
½ cup beer
½ pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
I went bare bones. Zero milk or flour in mine.
Is the bread specific?
Crusty. It’s just gotta be crusty. This doesn’t work with weak bread.
