Welsh Rarebit with Spinach
Ingredients
-
4 slices of good, sturdy bread
(i used a very nice gluten free flax seed bread by glutino - any will
do, but please, no wonderbread!)
-
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese (I used Denhay English cheddar)
-
1/2 teaspoon of Colman's mustard powder (or 1 teaspoon of a milder mustard)
-
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
-
a little ground black pepper
-
dash of milk (probably about a teaspoon)
-
2 cups of fresh spinach or 1/2 cup frozen.
Method
-
If you're using fresh spinach, heat in a pan until
wilted then leave to cool. When cooled, squeeze out the excess liquid
and chop roughly. If using frozen, simply defrost and squeeze out
excess liquid.
Place the slices of bread under the grill (or broiler) until lightly
browned on one side.
-
Meanwhile mix together the cheese, mustard,
worcestershire sauce, pepper and milk. Next, stir in the chopped
spinach.
Turn the slices of bread over and top with the cheese mixture, so it's
evenly distributed over each slice. Place under the hot grill for 2 - 3
minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
