Welsh rarebit (or Welsh rabbit as originally spelled) is a traditional but famous Welsh dish. Basically, it’s a combination of hot melted Caerphilly cheese on toast which is a winning combination on any day. Some still call it posh Cheese on Toast which let’s face it, doesn’t sound half as good as Welsh Rarebit, does it? Welsh rarebit is more than cheese on toast - it needs Caerphilly cheese, beer, Worcester sauce and mustard, and that's why it tastes so good - see the Welsh rarebit recipe below. Welsh rarebit day is celebrated in Wales on each 3rd September - but it's just so good, its best eaten all year around!
With any dish is as popular as Welsh Rarebit, there are always many, many different recipes and variations on the theme. However here is a traditional recipe to follow.
