Welsh Rare-bit

Ingredients

  • 2 cup grated cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • cayenne pepper, to taste
  • sliced bread

Directions

  1. Toast carefully square slices of bread with the crust removed.
  2. While hot, butter them, and then plunge in a bowl of hot water.
  3. Place them on a heated dish and stand in the oven, while you make the rare-bit.
  4. Put the milk into a porcelain-lined or granite saucepan and stand it over a moderate fire.
  5. When boiling hot, add the grated cheese; stir continually until the cheese is melted.
  6. Add the salt, cayenne, and beaten yolks, and pour it over the toasted bread.
  7. A rich cheese must be used or the rare-bit will be tough.
