Best Welsh Rarebit Cheese Fondue Recipes
WELSH RAREBIT
A classic English tavern snack, Welsh Rarebit is essentially a rich beer cheese fondue drizzled over toasted bread - it's cheesy comfort food at its simplest. The English have long enjoyed topping their toast with a wide range of tasty foodstuffs, and no dish captures this tradition better than the 18th century tavern nosh known as Welsh Rabbit, which, oddly enough, contains no rabbit whatsoever. The moniker was designed as a slight by the English, who created the dish, toward the Welsh, whom they considered shifty, shiftless, and usually broke. So broke, in fact, that they might actually call a piece of cheese a rabbit...which doesn't make a lick of sense. As for the "rarebit" variation, we can only assume it was devised in an effort to appease customers angered by the fact that there was no rabbit in their rabbit. Whatever you call it, I certainly would say that any dish that marries beer, cheese, and toast qualifies as good eats. When I make it, I prefer to do so right in front of the fire with my camp stove, which is basically a cast iron Dutch oven with little feet on it. If you don't have one of these, I"m sure you're going to get one. But until then, just make the sauce in a heavy saucepan over low heat. This recipe first appeared in Season 7 of Good Eats.

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.
