Welsh Rarebit
Also known as “Welsh Rabbit,” this cheese sauce is traditionally
served over toast points or toasted English muffin halves. A slice of
tomato can be placed on the toast first for “high tea” and it can also
be put under the broiler for a few moments. We have also found that
this recipe is delicious served over steamed broccoli or cauliflower, a
baked potato, or it could be tossed with cooked pasta shapes to
make a macaroni and cheese dish.
Makes 4 cups
2¼
cups whole milk or evaporated lowfat milk
(not reconstituted)
2
large eggs
3
tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1
tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1
teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½
teaspoon kosher salt
1
pound shredded sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
paprika (for dusting on top)
Heat the milk in a saucepan until simmering (just bubbles are just
breaking at the surface) – this may also be done in a microwave.
Place the eggs, flour, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt in the
blender jar. Blend on Mix for 15 to 20 seconds. Scrape the sides of the
blender jar. Add the shredded cheese and blend on Purée. With the
blender running, add the hot milk in a slow steady stream through the
opening in the lid. Blend on Purée until smooth and homogenous, about
30 to 40 seconds.
Pour the mixture into a medium (2¾-quart) saucepan. Place over medium
heat, and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk until creamy, smooth and
thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve over toast points or toasted English muffin halves. Dust with
paprika before serving.
