Welsh Rabbit (Rarebit) is a cheese sauce used for dipping of heavy bread or pouring over toast. Recipes of this dish go back to the 1800s of England. There are many variations to Welsh Rabbit but the following recipe is the basic old way of making it. It has been used as a camp food for many years. Using a good quality sharp cheddar cheese is preferred.
