A twist on a classic Welsh Rarebit.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz butter (¼ stick)
  • 3 Tbsp milk
  • 8 oz Irish cheddar (like Kerrygold Dubliner or you can use another melty cheese)
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp English mustard (prepared, or substitute your favorite mustard, or omit)
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper (freshly grated, to taste)
  • 2 Tbsp gherkin (or cornichons, chopped)
  • 4 slices bread (good quality, toasted)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then add the milk and grated cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and becomes smooth.
  • Add the vinegar, mustard, black pepper and gherkins; stir to combine and remove from heat.
  • Allow to cool slightly, stirring occasionally. Preheat the broiler (grill) then place the four pieces of toast on a baking sheet and divide the cheese mixture evenly between them.
  • Place under the broiler, until bubbly and hot; place on plates and serve with gherkins/cornichons and salad, if desired.

Notes

  • I have used an herbed Havarti cheese which was delicious as well!
