The Ultimate Welsh Rarebit Recipe

Simple Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

Welsh rarebit is a curious name for a dish with such a story. Some sources even date early versions back to the Middle Ages. Ironically "rarebit" is of English origin (not Welsh) and is known to be a corruption of "rabbit" and it was probably all the English teasing the Welsh about their apparent love of grilled cheese and their inability to afford real rabbit. Neighbourly bickering at its finest!

Welsh rarebit is a bit of a fancy cheesy toast but thanks to a few key ingredients it’s not at all difficult and packed with flavour. There are so many variations that it’s possible no two people will agree on how to make it.
