4.9 from 74 reviews

This classic Welsh rarebit recipe features crispy sourdough toast topped with a savory, cheesy mixture of sharp cheddar, Dijon mustard, and spring onions. Grilled to golden perfection, these rarebit toasts make a delicious and comforting snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Toast

  • 1 sourdough bread loaf, sliced

For the Rarebit Topping

  • 200g cheddar, grated
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Place the slices of sourdough bread under a preheated grill and toast for 2-3 minutes until the exposed side is golden brown.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: While the bread is toasting, combine the grated cheddar, Dijon mustard, thinly sliced spring onions, and beaten egg in a bowl. Mix well to create a smooth, spreadable mixture.
  3. Spread Topping and Grill Again: Remove the toasted bread from the grill and spread the cheese mixture evenly over the untoasted sides. Return the slices under the grill and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  4. Serve Immediately: Take the rarebit toasts out of the grill and serve them hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use sharp cheddar for the best flavor and meltability.
  • Adjust the amount of mustard to your taste for varying tanginess.
  • Ensure the grill is hot before toasting to achieve a crispy base.
  • Serve rarebit toasts immediately to enjoy the melted cheese at its best.
