THE WHIP TAVERNS WELSH RAREBIT



The Whip Taverns Welsh Rarebit image

This recipe appeared in the SOS column of the LA Times. The original recipe is from The Whip Tavern in Coatesille, PA. This is a rich, cheesy dish that is browned under the broiler and served with crostini for dipping. The ale they recommend is Smithwick's Irish Ale, but any will do.

TRADITIONAL WELSH RAREBIT

Real Welsh rarebit has a real bite to it, which means you need a strong cheddar, sharp cheddar or mature cheddar. You can serve it by itself on white toast or add toppings to it. My personal favourite is poached egg or fresh ripe summer tomato slices. Yum!

REAL WELSH RAREBIT

A classic version of this dish was shared with me years ago. This is is my adaptation to more local ingredients. If you don't like beer, you can replace it with milk and it will still taste great. Serve over toasted bread or English muffins.
