About Welsh rarebit

Welsh Rarebit is a traditional British dish with roots in Welsh cuisine, featuring a rich, savory cheese sauce poured over toasted bread. The sauce typically combines sharp cheddar cheese, butter, milk or cream, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and flour, and is often enhanced with ale or paprika for added depth of flavor. Although decadent and comforting, Welsh Rarebit is calorie-dense, primarily due to its high-fat content from cheese and butter. The inclusion of mustard and Worcestershire sauce adds robust flavor without significant added calories. While it offers calcium and protein from the cheese, it should be enjoyed in moderation due to its saturated fat and sodium levels. Pairing it with whole-grain bread and a side of fresh vegetables can balance its nutritional profile and add fiber to round out the meal.
