Caws Pobi | Welsh Rarebit Recipe
Welsh cuisine is a hidden gem in the culinary world, so if you are looking to uncover its secrets, the best way to start is with a Welsh Rarebit recipe. It's not just cheese on toast, it's not just your ordinary piece of bread with cheesy topping... We jazzed a traditional Welsh recipe and turned it into an ultimate Welsh Rarebit with Egg that can be served for breakfast, brunch or lunch as a satisfying meal!
Ingredients
- 4 large slices of bread see notes
- 25 g butter
- 25 g plain flour
- 125 ml ale we used alcohol-free Elvis AF
- 125 g Welsh Cheddar grated
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small pan. Add the flour and mix well until no dry flour remains. Cook for a minute stirring continuously. Gradually add the ale, whisking continuously to make sure no lumps form. Cook until you have a smooth thick sauce, that is of thick custard consistency.
- Add the grated Cheddar and stir until it melts completely. Your mixture should be thick and spreadable, rather than runny. Add the mustard and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine.
- Place your bread slices under the grill for a minute to toast one side. Take the bread out, turn the slices over and spread the rarebit mixture on top. Alternatively, toast the bread in your toaster before spreading the cheese sauce and grilling.
- Place the Welsh rarebit back under the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese topping browns and bubbles.
- Arrange two slices of bread per portion and serve with your favourite salad!

Notes
We recommend using large slices of crusty sourdough bread or thick-cut granary or seeded bread.
