Welsh Rarebit (Rabbit) Recipe

Welsh Rarebit, Rabbit or "Caws Pobi" gets its name quite literally from the words rare (meaning very lightly cooked) and bit (a small piece or portion). It is an ideal savoury snack. Try it for Sunday morning brunch with some freshly brewed coffee.

  • 2 to 4 slices of bread
  • 1½ cups of grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons of milk or beer
  • 30 grams / 1 oz of butter
  • 1 teaspoon of mustard
  • Pepper

Toast the slices of bread and grate 1½ cups of cheese. Arrange the cooked toast on a baking tray ready for grilling and spread with butter. Slowly melt the cheese and milk in a small saucepan. Then add the mustard and pepper. Stir continuously. When thick and smooth, pour over each piece of toast and grill until golden brown.
