WELSH RAREBIT

Posted by Carole-Anne on January 28, 2008

There are some recipes that we just have to put into the Healthy Recipes Collection.  Welsh Rarebit is one of these.

I have yet to see a recipe for Welsh Rarebit, in a Recipe book, yet it is so tasty, that I feel we must offer it to you. It is nutritious, with whole grain bread, protein in the cheese (light), cayenne pepper and freshly ground pepper, and there is one egg in the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

4 slices whole grain bread

1 tbsp butter

1/2 lb light Cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 tsp dry mustard

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup skim milk or 1% milk

1 egg well beaten. 

Sliced tomatoes and very crispy bacon (optional)

FOLLOW ME:

Using a double boiler, melt 1 tbsp butter.

Add shredded light Cheddar cheese, dry mustard and pepper.

Stir in 1/2 cup milk; continue stirring until the cheese  is well blended.

Stir constantly, and as the cheese melts, stir in 1/2 cup 1% milk.

Slowly add beaten egg, stirring briskly until it has blended into hot cheese sauce. 

Place toast in toaster.

Pour cheese sauce on toast immediately; garnish with crispy bacon and tomato slices.
