Ultimate Welsh Rarebit
Rarebit is a classic Welsh dish that’s incredibly versatile. It works as a side or a standalone meal and is perfect for brunch – especially if you’re not an egg person. It’s rich and creamy, and we incorporate beer to give that added umami.

TIPS:
* The egg yolk adds richness, but if you’d prefer not to include one just add a little more cream.
* You can make the rarebit mixture up to the end of step 2 and keep it chilled for up to 3 days before sitting it on top of toast and grilling. Great for if you have guests, or to make a double batch and save the rest for another day.
