Rarebit is a simple but very delicious dish which takes classic cheese on toast to a whole new level. It is toasted bread covered in a mixture of melted cheddar cheese, mustard, spices and ale. Rarebit has been popular since the 1500s. In Welsh, it is โcaws pobiโ, which translates as toasted cheese. Pick up a truckle of Snowdonia Black Bomber Cheese with a Becketts Bakery bloomer loaf and make this speedy lunch or suppertime treat!
