Welsh Rarebit

[sherrardk]

Does anyone know if it would be ok to melt the cheese bit using the oven (I would toast the rolls first) - I want to use the oven as I need to cook two trays of rarebit and don't want them going cold. Thank you.

I don't know what recipe you use, but I make my 'cheese bit' in a saucepan

I don't usually use a saucepan recipe but I might tomorrow - don't you still brown it somehow?

I toast the bread, put the grated cheese on top then bung it in the micro. Won't work for two trays though.

I use:

Beer, mustard powder, butter, cheese, egg yolks & Worcester sauce

I can't give you the amounts as I just do it. I cook them in a saucepan, let it cool a bit and then put it on pre toasted bread and grill it briefly.

It would work in a hot oven as this would brown the cheese mixture, but watch it like a hawk

I have a vague mixture that I use so I'll try that and then bung it on toasted rolls and try the oven. I usually only make it for myself but I'm inflicting it on the rest of them this week.

Let us know how it goes

Worked just fine in the oven but the rolls went a tiny bit too crunchy in areas. Only fly in the ointment was that boy #2 convinced himself it had actual rabbit in it and decided he 'didn't like it'.
