Welsh Rarebit with Egg (Buck Rarebit)

Recipes Quick Meals Side Dishes
This variation is often called "Buck Rarebit". There are two schools of thought: one (followed here) mixes the egg yolk into the sauce, creating a rich, silky cream similar to Hollandaise sauce (this is the "Golden Buck"). The other school puts a fried egg on top of the finished cheese toast. The egg yolk also acts as an emulsifier, helping to bind the fat and liquid together, so the sauce is less prone to splitting.

Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare the base: cook butter, flour, and milk together into a thick cream. Remove from the heat!

Tip: Let it cool for half a minute so it is not boiling.
2 ✓

Stir in the cheese, mustard, sauce, and pepper until the cheese melts.

Tip: The sauce must not be on the heat.
3 ✓

Mix the egg yolks in a small bowl. Add a spoonful of the warm cheese sauce, mix quickly (tempering), then pour the whole lot back into the large saucepan.

Tip: This way you avoid scrambled eggs in the sauce (coagulation).
4 ✓

Toast the bread, spread the rich cream on top.

Tip: The egg cream browns even more beautifully when baked.
5 ✓

Grill until golden brown.

Tip: Watch out, as it browns faster due to the egg!

Recipe FAQ

The hot sauce scrambled the egg.
Tempering is the secret: add a spoonful of hot sauce to the egg, mix it, and pour this lukewarm mixture back into the saucepan.
It became too runny.
Cook the flour base thicker before adding the egg, because it won't thicken further on the heat from the egg (since you cannot boil it).
