A British dish, rarebit has been popular in Texas since the turn of the century at least.
Makes 2 sandwiches
Rarebit sauce
- ¾ cup half-and-half or beer
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
- 1½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
The sandwich
- 4 slices sourdough white bread
- 4 slices tomato
- 10 to 12 ounces smoked turkey breast
- 4 slices slab bacon, cooked crisp
- In the top of a double boiler, warm the half-and-half or beer with the butter ; add a tablespoon of the hot liquid to the egg yolk in a small bowl, and mix.
- Stir the egg into the liquid ; add cheese, stirring until it has melted evenly.
- Mix in the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, and salt ; when the sauce is hot through and bubbly, remove it from the heat.
- Heat the broiler.
- Toast the bread ; lay two slices on each of two ovenproof plates.
- Arrange half of the tomato, turkey, and bacon over the bread on each plate ; spoon half of the rarebit sauce over each sandwich.
- Pop the open-face sandwiches under the broiler momentarily, until the sauce is bubbly.
- Serve the sandwiches piping hot ; you will want to eat them with knives and forks.
BON APPÉTIT
