Welsh Rarebit Souffle Food

WELSH RAREBIT

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to brown the flour. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add beer and whisk to combine. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth. Gradually add cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4 to 5 minutes. Add hot sauce. Pour over toast and serve immediately.

WELSH RAREBIT SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Put the cheese in a bowl, beat in 3 egg yolks (use the fourth one in something else), a level teaspoon of mustard, a good shake of Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce, and season to taste. Toast the bread.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Whip the 4 egg whites until they stand in stiff peaks. Add a spoonful or so to the cheese mixture then gently fold the rest of them into the bowl. Put the toasts into an ovenproof dish and pour the mixture over them.
• Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until browned and risen. Serve at once with a salad or spinach on the side.

WELSH RAREBIT

Steps:

• In a small saucepan gently warm the ale, set aside. Take another small saucepan and over a medium heat melt the butter until it begins to foam, tip in the flour and stir everything together, cooking for 1 min. Whisk in the warm ale in several additions to create a thick sauce then whisk through the cheese to create a thick paste. Stir the mustard, Worcestershire and chives through the sauce.
• Heat a grill to its highest setting. Place the slices of bread on a flat baking sheet and grill on one side until golden brown. Flip the bread over and spread each one with the cheese mixture. Place back under the grill and cook for a further 1-2 mins or until golden brown and bubbling, serve immediately.
