Welsh Rarebit
Also known as Welsh Rabbit, this cheese sauce is traditionally
served over toast points or toasted English muffin . 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

Heat the milk in a saucepan until simmering (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 . Cover and 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 .
