How to Make Mean Chef's Welsh Rarebit
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes to create a smooth roux.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of ale, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking continuously for 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 8 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of Tabasco sauce (start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust to taste). Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not boil.
- Toast your muffins lightly. Spoon the cheese sauce generously over the warm muffins.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with 2-3 slices of crispy bacon per serving (optional).
