This warm, cheesy delight is a Welsh favourite. It is also known as Welsh rabbit or Caws Pobi in Welsh!

Ingredients

150g low-fat grated cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon of low-fat margarine
2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
1 level teaspoon of dry mustard
2 teaspoons of plain, white flour
4 tablespoons of semi-skimmed milk
Ground black pepper to taste
4 slices of wholegrain bread, toasted on 1 side only

Method

Put the cheese, flour, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, margarine and pepper into a saucepan
Mix well and then add the milk to moisten. Do not make it too wet
Stir over a gentle heat until all is melted, and when it is a slightly thick paste, stop stirring, and swivel it around the saucepan, which it will do quite easily
Leave to cool a little, and meanwhile toast the bread on one side only
Spread the rarebit over the untoasted side and brown under a hot grill
This mixture can be made and kept in the refrigerator for several days if required
