This classic Welsh rarebit is a sophisticated take on the traditional cheese on toast, offering a deep, savoury flavour that far surpasses the simple grilled snack. By creating a rich roux with sharp extra-mature Cheddar, a splash of dark ale, and a hint of mustard, you achieve a velvety sauce that coats the crisp baguette perfectly. It is an enduring British favourite for a reason, providing a satisfying balance of textures and a punchy, salty finish.
As a high-protein vegetarian option, this dish makes for an excellent quick lunch or a comforting supper when served alongside a crisp green salad. The use of a robust porter or ale adds an authentic bitterness that cuts through the richness of the cheese, while the egg yolk ensures a glossy, professional consistency. It is the ultimate homemade comfort food for any day of the week.

Ingredients for Welsh Rabbit
16 (1/3-inch-thick) diagonal baguette slices
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon plain flour
120ml porter or ale
60ml whole milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoons black pepper
170g extra-sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (about 350ml )
1 large egg yolk
How to make Welsh Rabbit
Preheat grill.
Spread one side of bread slices with 2 tablespoons butter (total), then arrange slices, buttered sides up, on a baking sheet. Grill 4 to 6 inches from heat until golden brown, 1 to 4 minutes.
Melt remaining tablespoon butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, then add flour and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Add beer and milk in a stream, whisking, then whisk in mustard, pepper, and cheese. Bring to a simmer over moderately low heat, whisking, then simmer, whisking, until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and immediately whisk in yolk. Serve cheese sauce on toast.
