Westcountry Rarebit Crostini With Caramelised Shallots, A classic recipe which can be prepared in advance: rarebit served on French bread crostini Modify the amount of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce according to how hot you and your family – or guests – like your rarebits! In the original recipe, these rarebit crostini are made using Extra Mature West Country Farmhouse Cheddar This is not going to be available everywhere, so I’d suggest being guided in your choice of cheese by the words extra mature ! Well, at least use a stronger flavoured rather than a mild cheese The original recipe also suggested serving the crostini rarebits with a sprig of fresh redcurrants, which Zaar wouldn’t accept and which again undoubtedly are not available everywhere, so perhaps use a sprig of parsley Adapted from a recipe from the British Cheese Board , OMG – This was good! A bit more time consuming to make than a traditional rarebit but so worth the extra effort The taste combination is wonderful! You need a very strong cheddar otherwise the garlic overpowers it Absolutely wonderful and great party food Nice to see a rarebit recipe that includes the egg yolk – lots of the recipes on here miss them out I will make again but double the quantity – I think I ate half of them on my own LOL Thanks, A classic recipe which can be prepared in advance: rarebit served on French bread crostini Modify the amount of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce according to how hot you and your family – or guests – like your rarebits!
